[Hardware] Is this the new concept of ecological PC that Intel and AMD prepare?

With increasing regulations in terms of environmental impact, energy use and climate change, it would not be surprising if Intel and AMD have their green PC concept ready for the future and no, we are not talking about very low-cost laptops. consumption. If not to a tower concept, even to play, it could become an alternative for many.

Climate change has undoubtedly become one of the motivations for politicians to regulate and intervene in a large number of industries. Where we are seeing it the most is in cars, but consumer electronics, which is where computer hardware is located, are not turning a blind eye either. At the moment they have not entered the world of computers, but the saying of the beards and the neighbor is already known. The fact is that we have seen a series of trends that indicate that we could have important changes that could mean the advent of the "Ecological PC", which would be nothing more than the revision of the classic towers, but designed to meet the new requirements. of sustainability.

Why do we think the ecological PC is coming?
There are a series of movements that make us suppose that there is a trend towards the creation of an ecological PC model that could become a standard for the next few years. Although we already told you about Intel's proposal in this sense a few days ago, what we are referring to in this case is a more general movement in which the companies led today by Pat Gelsinger and Lisa Su would be finalizing a standard that would define a new tower PC and would completely obsolete the concept of Mini-ITX that VIA proposed several years ago, all for the fact of facing the growing demands and regulations in ecological matters and that could completely change the sector .

The first of the elements that make us assume about it is the fact that Meteor Lake, the next Intel architecture, has been designed to work on laptops and does not have a desktop version. Actually, if we take into account that it is a chip divided into several that were going to be used in several different designs, it is clear that the objective is to flee once and for all from the three-digit TDP, while it is expected that the increase in per-architecture performance enables you to achieve the power of a current desktop i7 or i9 for half the TDP.

The second, on the other hand, is the existence of the AMD Ryzen 7045, which is still a desktop Ryzen 7000, but adapted to work in the ecosystem of a high-end laptop. So we have a clear trend for CPUs across both major brands. It would not be surprising if both have agreed on that aspect.
