GIGABYTE is a proud member of Climate Savers Smart Computing Initiative. Started by Google and Intel in 2007, the Climate Savers Computing Initiative is a nonprofit group of eco-conscious consumers, businesses and conservation organizations whose goal is to promote development, deployment and adoption of smart technologies that can both improve the efficiency of a computer’s power delivery and reduce the energy consumed when the computer is in an inactive state.
 
As participants in the Climate Savers Computing Initiative, GIGABYTE has committed to producing products that meet specified power-efficiency targets. By 2010, Climate Savers seek to reduce global CO2 emissions from the operation of computers by 54 million tons per year*, equivalent to the annual output of 11 million cars or 10–20 coal-fired power plants. This effort will lead to a 50% reduction in power consumption by computers by 2010, and committed participants could collectively save $5.5 billion in energy costs.

GIGABYTE has taken the lead to develop responsible computing technologies that have as little impact on the environment as possible. In addition to removing lead and other hazardous materials from their products, GIGABYTE has developed the Dynamic Energy Saver Technology, which delivers unparalleled power savings with the simple click of a button. Featuring an advanced proprietary hardware and software design, GIGABYTE Dynamic Energy Saver motherboards are able to provide exceptional power savings of up to 70% and up to 20% improved power efficiency without sacrificing computing performance.

GIGABYTE is proud to be at the forefront of developing new technologies which help reduce the impact everyday computing has on the environment. Together we can help to create a greener computing future.

*Based on IDC projections of desktop and server units shipped, a baseline of typical desktop and server power consumption in the first half of 2007, and an average power cost of $0.0885/kWh.
