Taking place yesterday afternoon during Intel's Fall 2007 IDF
was their technology showcase and reception. There were a variety of
booths setup with all different manufacturers from American Megatrends
to Corsair and NVIDIA. While Microsoft did have a large presence at this
showcase, Intel did have a booth setup for talking about power-savings
technologies on Linux from their PowerTOP software to the tick-less
kernel and other power management capabilities.
