Is there any way to calculate the carbon footprint of electricity consumption / products such as TV / laptop / iPod? I try to know how much carbon foot print and electricity which is used by the products you buy in the store. as a new television, hi-fi, iPod, laptop etc.
These data can help you make a calculation: -
Motherboard: about 25W
Mouse + Keyboard: 3w.
Processor: 55W to 100W (yes, 100 watts for the Prescott).
Memory: About 10W per stick.
Videocard: 58W to 89W. SLI / XFire with overclocking needs more than 200W *** ***. Thus, there is now certified PSU 1000w workstations - a must for the platforms high end SLI XFire /.
AudioCard: 10W.
Hard Drive (per disc): about 25W.
DVD / CD (per disc): Around 30 to 35W
Fans (fan): 3W to 8W.
USB device (plug in use): 3W
Firewire (by taking in use): 8W
PC Watts Point
Accelerated Graphics Port (AGP) card 20 to 30W
Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) card 5W
Small Computer System Interface (SCSI) PCI card 20 to 25W
floppy disk 5W
NIC 50X 4W
CD 10 to 25W
128M RAM 10W per 5200 rpm
Integrated Drive Electronics (IDE) hard disk from 5 to 11W
7200 RPM IDE hard drive 5 to 15W
Motherboard (without CPU or RAM) from 20 to 30W
550 MHz Pentium III 30W
733 MHz Pentium III 23.5W
300 Celeron 600MHz 18W
45W Athlon MHz
