I got to meet Sr. Principal Engineer Ronak Singhal and Steve Gunther on the day they shared their “eco-wise” insights about the new Nehalem microprocessor architecture before a gathering of technical press in San Francisco last month.
With the IT industry contributing to 2% of the world’s carbon emissions, Ronak and Steve looked back at Intel’s history of building energy-efficient into microprocessors then looked at Intel’s Tick-Tock model for design and manufacturing. That was the set up for what’s next: new energy smart power management features being built in the upcoming Intel Core i7 family of processors (codenamed Nehalem).
