Haswell Will Enable 10 Days of Connected Standby Battery Life

@nadamany the UX32, not the thinner UX31, has a single SO-DIMM slot. Only qualified for up to 4GB, 8GB should work but not 100% yet

Just a little Jay-Z and SSD testing, maybe even building a new HTPC for the theater

ASUS' Zenbook Prime UX21A now in Bench: http://t.co/o8WRdDKX

@JonWorrel the UX21A, the review just posted: http://t.co/LN9GNdiY

@DrPizza @mcrommert @babgvant there's progress, just not along this one vector. that will come too.

@DrPizza @mcrommert @babgvant hangon now: 19x10 in an 11.6-inch form factor, much better CPU perf, much better wifi, USB 3, etc...

@DrPizza @mcrommert @babgvant wait seriously it is?!? is that why all of my machines are running so slow? :-P

@DrPizza @babgvant @mcrommert welcome to the world of appliance computing, just upgrade again next year when you need more memory

@babgvant @DrPizza @mcrommert I agree that I would like to see more, but 4GB with an SSD is definitely usable for most client workloads

Running a cTDP battery life test on the Zenbook Prime at 13W while I prepare the V4 1.4 on the SSD testbed

Is 30% equal to 20x decrease? by vlado08 on Tuesday, September 13, 2011

Anand I need some more explanation. What am I missing?

Good question... what I was able to gather was that the PROCESSOR will use 30% less power. While the entire PC that runs this chip will have a 20x decrease. Its confusing to me to use multiplication to make something smaller and I assume that means the Haswell system (not just the chip) will use 1/20th the amount of power on standy as a Sandy Bridge system.

So if the whole platform (CPU+chipset) can be decreased by 20x, while the CPU itself only goes down 30%, it means that currently the Sandy Bridge platform excluding the CPU is using as much power as 20 Haswell platforms (excluding CPU) plus 13 Sandy Bridge CPUs.

Connected standby? by ssj4Gogeta on Wednesday, September 14, 2011

Why would you want your notebook to continually fetch updates, instead of just updating in one go when you wake it up? Unless we're talking about some kind of updates notification here like in smartphones.
