Talk:Performance per watt

Propose to move to performance per watt and expand accordingly
Moved, as proposed.

I don't see a lot of room for this article on FLOPS per watt to grow to a reasonable size. Propose to move it to the more general performance per watt, and expanded to cover other computing energy efficiency measures (MIPS/W), the Green 500, etc. Comments? Zodon (talk) 19:04, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

Green 500
The Green 500 probably needs to pop out of here to its own page. Unless there are objections, will do. History2007 (talk) 13:36, 14 August 2011 (UTC)


 * Why does it need its own article at this point? So far the content on the Green500 is quite short.  Creating a new article would not reduce the size of this article, and this article is not over-large.
 * No objection as long as the new article starts out as a significant sized article, but if it going to start out as yet another stub, might as well leave coverage here until expands enough to make it worth splitting. (Easier to edit and to read.) Zodon (talk) 03:57, 15 August 2011 (UTC)

Processors
Efficiency of super computers is interesting, but I think more people come to this page expecting to find information about processors and more common devices. It would also be interesting to show figures for processors like Xeon and ARM. DonPMitchell (talk) 09:52, 12 December 2012 (UTC)

PPW of consumer products?
Whilst performance per watt of supercomputers is technically interesting, I can't believe this page provides so little insight to the ppw of consumer computing products like desktops, laptops, mini PCs or mobile platforms. Even though consumer computing significantly contributes to overall power consumption of the IT sector, a "consumer level" search for energy efficient end user computing products gives close to nothing - like no ppw benchmarks (where is energybench gone?), no ppw rankings of mini or desktop PCs or components or mobile or gaming devices.

Performance benchmarks or power ratings can be found en masse, but they don't anwer the question.

Unfortunately, I'm not in the position to provide more data on this subject, so I leave this as a plea/request to better informed editors to improve focus on ppw of consumer products. -- Zooloo (talk • contribs) 14:07, 20 September 2019 (UTC)

Green500 move (December 2020)
I note the discussion of 2011. As the Green500 is large enough, I've moved it to its own page. - Master Of Ninja (talk) 14:36, 7 December 2020 (UTC)
