电脑耗电知多少（How much do computers consume） How much do computers consume? The total power consumption of a computer is composed of the power consumption of each component, and the different computer configurations directly affect the amount of power consumption. The power of common equipment other than CPU and monitor is listed in Table 1, because the range of power dissipation varies for different types of products. AGP video cards 10 ~ 30W Regular PCI 5W Floppy 5W Optical storage devices 10 ~ 25W 7200rpm IDE 10 ~ 25W 1000rpm SCSI 10 ~ 40W Memory RAM (128MB) 10W Motherboard (excluding CPU and RAM) 20 to 50W CPU power consumption is from 20W to 100W You know what? Nominal power and actual power of the power supply The nominal power of the power supply refers to the power on the power box (W per unit), and also the maximum output power of the switching power supply. The nominal power of the computer is usually higher than the actual power, but the power consumption of the computer is not affected by the nominal power of the power supply. In other words, the choice of power supplies does not increase actual power consumption. For example, if your computer needs 200W power, even though it has a switching power supply with a nominal power of 350W, the actual power consumption of the system is still 200W. In 486, 586 times, CPU power consumption is less than 20W, but with CPU frequency increase, energy consumption also followed up to now 100W, the computer become worthy of the name electric tiger, which from the increasingly exaggeration of the radiator (Figure 8) and the whirring sound of the cooling fan can feel to. CPU power consumption is proportional to the square of the supply voltage, and reducing the core voltage can greatly reduce the power consumption of the CPU. From Intel 8086 to Intel 80486, the CPU supply voltage has been 5V, from the Pentium era, voltage values all the way down, until todays 1V below. Even so, as the number of transistors continues to increase
