In Pictures: AMD Consolidates From 18 Datacenters To Just Two

Google: "Ohh look! It is like a data center.... only, smaller. How cute."

I am a hard core AMD user and have been ever since AMD K6 but until they get off their butts and produce serious energy efficient processors to complete with Intel's they are in a losing battle. They make great processors and best bang for the buck but long term TOC is higher in terms of energy cost. The data center consolidation will save money now but as time goes on they will lose money in energy usage.

i dont think so, FM2+ and AM1 CPUs are doing wonders in power usage.

Well my motherboard is an FM2, and it has functions on my Bios that makes the system use less power by adding a few settings, now this is a smart way of going since trying to save money on power is not easy, I mean heck my system at least has provided 2 low Power Bills in terms of usage, besides the reason also to this is not just the CPU and Motherboard(Motherboard is the ASUS F2A55-M), but Solid State Drives are a big key to the Power Saving issue too,

The Brand of SSDs I have are both SanDisk(Extreme 120GB & Ultra Plus 128 GB), which have had Power Benchmarks at a real good level in lower Power Consumption, which in turn uses less power to put data on an SSD, and in some Cases Prevent Fatal Power Failures on the SSDs which other Brands still have problems with, because I have the power go out on me at least twice, both Drives are running normally still since then,

And the benefit of this power saving is it also makes my computer System, Very Stable at that and it also makes my system produce less heat too which on those Summer Days, a Computer can be brutally hit by high temps, and so I figure that is why I decided to get my system and made it as a Custom Built system I built myself.
