Computer power consumption**? High efficiency transistor energy saving 70%

With the improvement of the performance of personal computers, the power consumption of CPUs is also increasing, and it has to be admitted that for those who are financially struggling, the inflated electricity bills are also a problem people must pay attention to. Recently, researchers at Pennsylvania State University have developed a new type of transistor that can effectively reduce the power consumption of computers.

Researchers have worked with semiconductor manufacturers to develop a high-efficiency transistor that can replace traditional MOSFETs (field effect transistors) that can effectively save energy when the computer is running or when it is dormant. This new type of transistor is a tunnel FET made of semiconductors of different materials and can operate effectively at a voltage of 300 millivolts, while conventional MOSFETs require a voltage of 1 volt, which means that it can save 70%. Electric energy.
