> MultiGHz, Multicore CPUs consume magnitudes more power than HDs.
Not always. A typical 3.5" harddrive consumes about (max):
0.65A * 5V = 3.25W
0.50A * 12V = 6.00W
which totals 9.25 Watts, and less when not transferring data.
I am composing this message on a system with a 2.5GHz, two-core
processor that consumes 45 Watts maximum, and less when "idle".
So in this case the ratio is closer to 5:1, not 10:1.
