Reducing Energy Use at Intel

Intel architect Doug DeVetter and 'IT Technology Evangelist' Michael Bretton have published a piece of internal research made to guide their own sustainability efforts.

The findings recommended these actions for Intel.

• Proactively replace older, less efficient equipment with higher-efficiency models.

• Deploy new power schemes to existing and new PCs.

• Enable power setting reporting.

Implementing Energy Efficient Power Schemes

Intel investigated the impact of power schemes to reduce PC energy consumption and since changed their default settings. 

A study in 2007 that analyzed the power states of about 20 desktop and 100 laptop systems is currently 
being refreshed with a larger sample set but the data from this study answered such questions as: 

How many hours a [...]
