| 80 PLUS Production Information |
| Top Microsystems meets Energy Star 5.0 requirement. Energy Star 5.0 sets up higher level of energy saving requirement than Energy Star 4.0, and has adopted 80 Plus Bronze into its energy saving guidelines. This indicates that 80 Plus Bronze would become the next generation power saving requirement. In order to conform to Energy Star 5.0, more corporations, governments and schools will require their computer purchasing to comply with 80 Plus Bronze requirements. Compared to 80 Plus, 80 Plus Bronze has higher efficiency under 20%, 50% and 100% loading. This demonstrates 80 Plus Bronze could reduce more heat output and increase energy efficiency. Heat is the #1 killer for semi conductor and less heat output would certainly increase the System reliability. |
