Intel Pledges Support For Energy Standards

Earlier this week Intel pledged support for the new Energy Star electronics standards. I had a big joke about Intel going green but with all the mergers lately I didn’t want all you NVIDIA fans to think Intel was buying themselves a graphics card company too.

The EPA revised its Energy Star computer specification on Friday, drawing up new "Version 4.0" requirements to replace standards that have been in effect since July of 2000. Starting on July 20, 2007, computers, servers, workstations and game consoles must meet the revisions in order to qualify for an Energy Star rating.
