Google to Push for More Electrical Efficiency in PC’s
By JOHN MARKOFF
Published: September 26, 2006
Google is calling on the computer industry to create a simpler and more efficient power supply standard.
i read the article they want to have all internal pc components run off 12v directly (instead of a mix of existing 5v and 12v rails) to allow for more efficient power supplies.. that would be cool
