  2. Power supply unit (computer) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_supply_unit_(computer)

    [16] [17] For a comparison, a 500-watt power supply carrying the 80 Plus Bronze efficiency rating (which means that such a power supply is designed to be at least 82% efficient for loads above 100 W) may provide an 84% efficiency for a 100 W load, wasting only 19 W. [18] Other ratings such as 80 Plus Gold, 80 Plus Platinum and 80 Plus Titanium ...

  3. Power supply - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_supply

    A power supply is an electrical device that supplies electric power to an electrical load. The main purpose of a power supply is to convert electric current from a source to the correct voltage, current, and frequency to power the load. As a result, power supplies are sometimes referred to as electric power converters. Some power supplies are ...

  4. PC power management - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PC_power_management

    This is typically achieved through software that puts the hardware into the lowest power demand state available, making it an aspect of green computing. A typical office PC uses about 90 watts when active (approximately 50 watts for the base unit, and 40 watts for a typical LCD screen); and three to four watts when ‘asleep’. Up to 10% of a ...

  5. ATX - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ATX

    For example, a 900-watt power supply with the 80 Plus Silver efficiency rating (which means that such a power supply is designed to be at least 85 percent efficient for loads above 180 W) may only be 73% efficient when the load is lower than 100 W, which is a typical idle power for a desktop computer. Thus, for a 100 W load, losses for this ...

  6. Performance per watt - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Performance_per_watt

    Exponential growth of supercomputer performance per watt based on data from the Green500 list. The red crosses denote the most power efficient computer, while the blue ones denote the computer ranked#500. FLOPS per watt is a common measure.

  7. Switched-mode power supply - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Switched-mode_power_supply

    In contrast, a linear power supply regulates the output voltage by continually dissipating power in the pass transistor. The switched-mode power supply's higher electrical efficiency is an important advantage. Switched-mode power supplies can also be substantially smaller and lighter than a linear supply because the transformer can be much smaller.

    1.12×10 36: Estimated computational power of a Matrioshka brain, assuming 1.87×10 26 watt power produced by solar panels and 6 GFLOPS/watt efficiency. [ 21 ] 4×10 48 : Estimated computational power of a Matrioshka brain whose power source is the Sun , the outermost layer operates at 10 kelvins , and the constituent parts operate at or near ...

  9. Uninterruptible power supply - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uninterruptible_power_supply

    An uninterruptible power supply (UPS) or uninterruptible power source is a type of continual power system that provides automated backup electric power to a load when the input power source or mains power fails.
