Re: Cost Justifications

Hi Vern

Thanks - I thought that's what was being said but was just seeking
clarification.

My question was directed at the discussions I sometimes hear about the
heat generated from intel processors vs. power processors. Going on
what's been said, the key difference is actually in the power consumed
to run the machines/processors rather than anything intrinsically to
do with the processors themselves (other than a design that presumably
requires more power).

This has nothing to do with CPUs of one manufacturer or another, it is a
constant ratio for input (linear function) as watts and output as BTUs
(heat). You can go to


http://www.unitconversion.org/power/watts-to-btus-it--per-hour-conversion.html

and plug in your own numbers - 1000 W == 3412+ BTU (British Thermal
Units) in that calculator.

At least that's how I understood Larry when he said "it's a straight
line relationship between input power and output heat"
