 If you take a look at the left-hand side bar you might notice a few changes. We’ve added two new sections: Green Computing News and Green RSS Feeds.
Green Computing News aggregates all the online green computing news from around the web in an easy-to-view format. It’s updated daily and seeks to include all mention of green computing that crops up in the media.
Green RSS Feeds has a slightly wider focus. This section takes RSS feeds from various sites and displays the title and a brief description of each article those sites post. You can scroll through the article titles and, by clicking on any link that you think might be worth a read, will have that article open in a new window. These feeds cover not just green computing matters, but also wider environmental and technological issues.
These new sections should significantly increase the size of The Green Lounge’s database of green computing information, providing a more valuable resource for readers. | | Read more... (0 Comments) |

Today heralds a new dawn in energy-efficient computing with the announcement of VIA's new Isaiah architecture. This new CPU architecture promises to deliver a massive increase in raw computing power while maintaining a similar power envelope to previous VIA platforms, i.e. significantly more energy-efficient than any other CPU in its class available today.
With Isaiah-based CPUs planed to ship some time in the middle of this year, the VIA Isaiah Architecture has been specifically designed to deliver all the performance and features necessary for running the most demanding computing, entertainment, and connectivity applications, including high-definition video, 3D games, imaging, and virtual worlds.
What impresses me most of course is the implications of this technology. Simply put, it means that power-efficient computing will come of age in 2008. Consumers will soon be able to purchase devices that offer the kind of performance they crave while using significantly less energy than was previously required. This video features Glenn Henry, the President of Centaur Technology Inc, the company that designed tha VIA Isaiah architecture. It's clear from the video that Glen is immensly proud of what his team have achieved, deeming it 'sort of impossible'.

Not quite Everest, but if you check out The Green Lounge gallery you’ll see that there’s been a new section added with photos from the Green California Schools Summit, which I posted about yesterday, and that finishes today. The photos were taken by the team over at Cool Green Gadgets, an excellent new site that keeps track of all that’s happening in the world of eco-friendly consumer products. | | Read more...

Today’s the second of the 3-day Green California Schools Summit at the Pasadena Conference Center in California. California is on the leading edge of the green school movement, creating a state-wide framework and incentives for sustainable schools, and at the summit will focus on strategies, technologies and services that will ensure that new and existing public schools are models of sustainability and provide healthy learning environments for students.
And VIA will be there showcasing power efficient systems that can go a long way towards helping manage a power grid that is becoming increasingly taxed, and has already caused brown and black outs across the state.

Makes for a good read and gives some explanation of the thinking behind some of VIA’s decisions and strategy in this area. Worth a look. | | Read more... (0 Comments) |
