A chip company called Multigig, Inc. released information that it had created a new method to reduce the power consumption of silicon chips by reducing the power usage by the clock, which is constantly cycling across the chip and can consume over 50% of the entire power usage of the chip. Their press release claims up to an 87% power savings using the technology. This could be truly huge for laptops especially. Also, it could free up chip makers to start increasing clock cycles again to improve chip speeds. Power usage being a real limiter in the clock cycle wars. Very interesting. The company claims 22 patents granted with 50 more pending. Not shabby for a startup. Tim Sanders tim@thefinalmile.net  www.thefinalmile.net  www.wimaxglobalnews.com
