Recently both Micforsoft & Intel have comeup with a new combo offer which will help you to save power and thus will increase your laptop battery life !!!! Windows 7+Intel= “Wintel“ a new innovation from the partnership have promised to offer you most reliable power cutting solution for your notebooks thus a better battery life…..
In a demonstration of two identically configured ThinkPads T400s, Intel and Microsoft claimed that a Windows XP SP2 machine consumed on average 20.2 watts, while the Windows 7 machine consumed 15.4 watts. That translated to about 1.4 hours of additional battery life,
You can imagine that tweaking an OS can offer you such a good gift which will help you in power efficiency !!!!
Actually, both Microsoft & Intel are investigating on the power consumption related to hardware, CPU usage, resource hungry processes, BUS speed etc. and are updating themselves thereby working on them from firmware as well as software level to improve. Windows 7 OS is more advance operating system which is using a technology called ” timer coalescing “ which will minimize the time in which the processor enters a high-performance, full-power state. hence will reduce power consumption. Also Intel has made a dedicated chip for this called Westmere that is running in compatibility with Windows 7. It has hardware acceleration technique too that is significantly improving the encryption algorithm runtimes namely AES. This has result in the ability to boot the operating system within 11 seconds.
The bottom line :- Intel and Microsoft are coming with a joint venture that will help batteries to last much longer. Its just a few days wait ( wait till end of October 2009 ) for getting this dedicated Wintel machines which will have greater battery life and will operate for longer hours.
