10 volts for the processor!?
I'm only running 1.16-1.2v on my i7-920...

PS, the THW login system SUCKS!!!!!!! please fix it so it can save the bloody password.

You do understand that there is only 9.2 micro amps of current in the system right? There's at least an amp of current in your i7.. So you're using at least 10^5 more energy
 
[citation][nom]NeBuN[/nom]are we going backwards?[/citation]
Usually with alot of products, we have to start at square one to get back to today's levels. it's an organic processor and it hasn't been perfected, that's why phones have the capacity of computers 10-20 years ago
 
[citation][nom]rbarone69[/nom]Do you guys realize this takes 92 microwatts?!?!?!0.000092 watts to run this processorYa, that's why this is important...[/citation][citation][nom]starralazn[/nom]You do understand that there is only 9.2 micro amps of current in the system right?

WHAT? You mean you have to look at volts AND amps? /sarcasm

Your processor run 1.2V but it used 100W!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!+, this one use only 92 μW. use your math and calculate . Maybe you go back and learn about current. The way you say= Asia has better electricity , don't you? Asia use 220 V, US and Canada use 110 V. V is nothing compare to Watt

the password thing works fine for me...both ie8 and google chrome and on multiple pc's.....Maybe fix your PC!
 
OK, so Intel core i7 960 has 731,000,000 transistors and consumes 130W, which comes to .0000001778W/transistor. This new power saving technology has 3381 transistors at .000092W which comes to .00000002721W/transistor.
Wow... It takes 15% of the power. Very impressive unless I got a 0 wrong in there somewhere. And considering this tech will supposedly get more efficient as they refine it then it will be really amazing.
This could be great for low productivity devices that need super long battery life, but last I checked organic processing is much slower in reaction time than traditional processing, so I cant imagine it working very fast unless it is massively parallel.

15% ? This thing only runs at 6MHz, your i7 probably runs at 3600 MHz (at a guess) so you missed out on a 600x power factor. This thing is actually around 60x less energy efficient than that i7. Assuming you didn't get a 0 wrong in there....

I was commenting on the fact that it's about 9 times more voltage than the current processors. 1/4 of that voltage would probably toast an i7. Whether or not it uses more power wasn't the point of my comment.

Tried it on chrome, opera, firefox on PC; Opera, firefox, and safari on mac. Same thing... nothing is wrong with my PC, THW's flashy login system doesn't bode well with the "save password" feature on any platform and browser I've tried it on.

he was only comparing transistors. he could've done the same calculation for clock speed. Besides that, clock speed doesn't always mean everything.
 
I guess the power efficiency benchmark you guys are looking for would be MIPS or FLOPS per watt, and it looks like we don't have enough information in the article.
 
at 92uW, you can put 10 of these for under a mW, 10.000 of these running just under 1 W.
6mHz may seem very slow, but if 10.000 of them are crunching a serious parallel program, they would perform like a 60Ghz processor on a single thread, and that all for under 1W!!!
