		<description><![CDATA[A silent PC is one that makes absolutely no noise, and by necessity has no moving parts (including fans). Such systems usually use very low-end hardware limited to trivial tasks such as running a cash register. The system introduced today, a Solid-State PC (SSPC) is a powerful quad-core i5 PC which runs most software faster than the majority of modern PCs, yet uses [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Fujitsu announced that their showing at CeBIT 2009 will include what they call a &#8220;zero-watt PC&#8220;. The name is misleading not only that these computers draw full power except when in standby mode (or off), but also in that this may not actually save even the humble standby power drawn by a typical PC. The [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One issue that I&#8217;m frequently asked about is AMD&#8217;s alternative energy efficiency rating called Average CPU Power (ACP).  AMD created this new standard on its own last year and despite controversy, they&#8217;ve managed to get the media to accept this new definition of energy efficiency.  AMD has told the press that AMD&#8217;s ACP rating is [...]]]></description>
