This is like having a slow system and a fast system all in one board?
so you can do laptop like things , browsing , liteweight game play, documents, picture viewing, and minor video viewing at one power, on a fully seperate subsystem
then
Jump over to the real system and do encoding, high end gaming, and photoprocessing, 3D renders, and all the other things that a weak system would take forever to do?
Guess which one , I will be using
In fact notice the last few statements, running both at the same time, I bet that will save power.
I think that with HLT CE states, stepping , green drives, and all the stuff that they already are doing to save power WHEN not doing work , already has accomplished a lot of that.
My drives go from COLD to hot depending on the work they have to do, the cpu the same, and the ram the same, and all the fans only work as needed.
The GPU starts tossing flames out the back when it has to start really working (games). I would be more likly to use a hybrid like that, as a "second Core" , and nowdays they have 2-4-6-8 cores in computers. Cores that can get to almost ambient temperatures, and way less power when not used, , , As long as the power saving features arent turned off.
If people are using the stepping, the power saving features (when they work right) a ~4G overclocked desktop can get down to the power consumption of 2 laptops. I wouldn't like to work with a desktop when it is as slow as one laptop, thats no fun, unless it is portable too.
