LSI making waves with their new shiny Sandfoce acquisition already. Go LSI Go!!!

I don't see how this could make that much of a difference in laptops. Since in laptops the impact of a hard drive or SSD is only a few minutes. The big users being the screen and CPU. The GPU can also be a big factor in gaming laptops.

I think this has more to do with the fact that Sandforce based controllers tended to consume more power on a consistent basis than some other chip-sets. And I have no doubt they are talking about the least common denominator of low powered chips, to maximize the difference with respect to the chip set in this claim...

6GB/s that's amazing? 6000MB/s? Wow. That's so much faster than the current standard at 6Gbps, which translates to roughly 600MB/s ideal maximum.

Yes... in the computing world, SIZE does matter... at least if you use capitals or lower case letters Proofing their work would be adventitious.

Agreed, I would like to know more about that. As far as I know CPU-GPU-screen use most of the memory then come RAM and WIFI, but SSD? Never heard that SSD consume so much we could spare "1 hour" of battery just by modifying them... Anyway if it's right it's a good news, if not just commercial and we don't loose anything so...

That is very good there.
