    Neither of those runs Linux, and AMD is on contract to provide support services (to Sony and MS) for them.

    Again, AMD's graphics drivers are provided to Apple under contract. Whatever Apple wants from AMD, I'm sure it gets.

    Power-saving was in its infancy, back then. I wonder if DEC eve bothered to put in anything like that. People running Linux on Alphas were probably mostly doing so in air-conditioned machine rooms with big enough budgets they could afford not to care about the electric bill.

    That's arrogant of you to say. Speak only for yourself, please.

      What are you even talking about?

      Anyway, monitoring is useful to know for people trying to tune their system to maximize their battery life, or if they're stuck working in a hot upstairs room all summer and trying to balance heat and performance of their PCs.

      There are other reasons, besides, such as for Phoronix' benchmarking purposes that people use to make purchasing decisions who are concerned about things like heat, noise, or electricity usage.

      If you don't care, then fine. I just don't understand this need to lash out at those who do. There are names for people who do things like that.

        Was not really lashing out, or even angry for that matter. Believe it or not I was not even excited in any way. I just think its a dead horse that people keep on beating.
