SandForce SF-2200/2100 Chips Promise Extra Hour of Battery
LSI announced new SandForce client flash storage processors that promise lower power consumption and improved performance.
The SF-2200 and SF-2100 series is especially targeting SSDs for Ultrabooks and can address 24 GB to 512 GB of flash memory.
Compared to the previous product generation, the new controllers, which continue to be manufactured in 65 nm, include a firmware upgrade that enables a much more detailed power control and address more devices that can be active or shut down. According to LSI, the overall effect is a notably improved power consumption and deliver up to one more hour of battery life in a notebook.
At the same time, the company also promises faster boot and wake times, support for "virtually" all MLC flash products and support for SATA 6 Gb/s. There was no information on availability.
Yes... in the computing world, SIZE does matter... at least if you use capitals or lower case letters
adventitious? I see what you did there, lol.
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...
