Two posts in a row mentioning power standards! I’m excited about it, anyway. Over on Anandtech (a great site for very technical reporting), they have a brief post about the upcoming Braswell motherboards from ASRock.

ASRock is one of the main motherboard manufacturers, and Braswell is a line of processors by Intel that are low-power and low-to-moderate performance, for use in inexpensive PCs and what are known as home-theater PCs (HTPCs), which usually are primarily for serving media. You wouldn’t use a system built on these components for hardcore gaming or graphics processing or piloting the space shuttle.
