  2. Performance per watt - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Performance_per_watt

    In computing, performance per watt is a measure of the energy efficiency of a particular computer architecture or computer hardware. Literally, it measures the rate of computation that can be delivered by a computer for every watt of power consumed.

    9. Desktop Computer Average Wattage: 1-49 watts Cost per Year: $1-$49 Your computer doesn't draw a ton of power, even when it's on, with a typical desktop costing you about a penny an hour.

  4. Processor power dissipation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Processor_power_dissipation

    In laptops, the LCD's backlight also uses a significant portion of overall power. While energy-saving features have been instituted in personal computers for when they are idle, the overall consumption of today's high-performance CPUs is considerable. This is in strong contrast with the much lower energy consumption of CPUs designed for low ...

  5. Power supply unit (computer) - Wikipedia

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

    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% 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 supply ...

  6. Standby power - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standby_power

    Unplugging a device constantly consuming standby power saves a yearly 9 kWh for each watt of continuous consumption (saving $1 per year at average US rates [12]). Devices such as security systems, fire alarms, and digital video recorders require continuous power to operate properly (though in the case of electric timers used to disconnect other ...

  7. Watt-hour per kilogram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Watt-hour_per_kilogram

    The watt, kilogram, joule, and the second are part of the International System of Units (SI). The hour is not, though it is accepted for use with the SI.Since a watt equals one joule per second and because one hour equals 3600 seconds, one watt-hour per kilogram can be expressed in SI units as 3600 joules per kilogram.

  8. Watt - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Watt

    Power is the rate at which energy is generated or consumed and hence is measured in units (e.g. watts) that represent energy per unit time. For example, when a light bulb with a power rating of 100 W is turned on for one hour, the energy used is 100 watt hours (W·h), 0.1 kilowatt hour, or 360 kJ. This same amount of energy would light a 40 ...
