February 2007 § 5 Preface 1 Preface In July of 2007 a new version of the ENERGY STAR* specification for computers will take effect. This new version specifies many new system level requirements that must be met in order to carry the ENERGY STAR logo on computers. As such, Intel and the EPA have collaborated on creating this document that can provide system providers, from the largest to smallest, with key understandings on how to specify and test system configurations that can best meet the required power levels of the new specification. 6 Introduction 2 Introduction Over the last twenty-five years, computers have become pervasively used tools that have enhanced the productivity in the office and enhanced the entertainment and utility
