11. Punches and blocks consume computer power and chip capacity is limited, so these are resource management decisions. 12. The chips consume little power and could one day be produced cheaply enough to be built into every device. 13. The index is calculated using figures and estimates of annual manufacturing output, electrical power consumed on a monthly basis and total hours worked. 14. They also consume more power, which reduces battery life. 15. They consume less power, weigh just a few pounds and have noticeably less flicker, and thus produce less eye strain, than their CRT cousins. 16. While PALC LCDs are cheaper to make and consume less power, analysts say PDP LCDs are easier to mass produce. 17. Smaller transistors consume less power and generally switch on and off more quickly. 18. Sony said all the monitors are designed to consume less power. 19. Transmeta worked in secret development for five years before introducing in January its Crusoe chip, which was designed to consume less power. |
