You only save cause your computer is not running all the same stuff as in XP.

According to the article it says that it uses an operating system-integrated form of speedstep, reducing voltage and clocks whenever not needed. I bet that if the tests with XP were done with the CPU versions like EIST it wouldn't be as big a gap...

Pretty impressive though.

that is pretty cool

 

[Jabes]

i do notice in vista my cpu voltage is lower on idle and on a load it raises. But my clocks stay the same, or else i would be pissed

W00T with vista. Booo for the price.

Yes..

More programs running = more load = more energy.

Less program running = less load = Less Energy

How does a computer Emmit CO2 Emmisions though?

XP users can use Performance on Demand (and other kinds of profiles) by installing the RightMark CPU Clock Utility. It runs my 2GHz CPU on 800MHz when I don’t need its power (most of the time).

This is the first reply on that link.. More like Speedstep...
