it disables 3 clocks
9 clocks = 65 w
so 3 clocks gives me 20w
and in a hour i get 0.02kwh
multiplied by 6 hours a day * 30 days = 3.6kwh
and a unit costs 3rupees here 3.6 * 3 = 10 ruppess
wha i wonder why iam still not rich
and by the way nobody in my colony has a core 2 duo or anything wid power saying techno
so at most for amonth throughout india people at most can save 50,000 ruppes
i wonder why we still are poor
i still stick wid my plan as the saving is not significant
and i most of the time game in the 6 hours and wid this technology on there are ups and downs in the fps which is not desirable
Not really how it works. Not the correct math. It's a lot more complicated than that. But the power savings do work out to about 15-20W probably. But if you are using your computer, you are not saving that power. If any process is using your computer beyond idle, you are not saving power. I have 6 computers in this room right now running. I save a decent amount of money when I let them idle with C1E and EIST vs idling without them. It's not going to make me rich, but it is still money that stays in my pocket. I'll bust out my kill-a-watt later to prove it if I have time. And if I sit with CPU-Z open, the minute I open a program, instantly up to full clock speed.
Plus, don't use generalizations like this. Generally, if people have more money, they can afford a tiny bit more, negating most savings. Remember, 10 rupees/month. A month is a rather long time. Sure, that's 120 rupees/year, but is that going to make you rich? The India Per-Capita GDP is 38000 Rupees. How long have you had a computer with C1E or EIST? I save about $100/year. That's $100 I could use to buy food, or a desk, or save for an emergency. But that is only 0.25% of my total income. Not much, but there are times when I could really need $100.
EDIT: I've been in school too long. I typed GPA instead of GDP.
