agreed, I'd love to have a passive LCD display netbook that was able to transparently sleep between keystrokes, but realistically we are a long way from that in terms of the hardware capabilities, and even further away from that in terms of being able to predict the future workloads correctly.
i don't think we are ever going to get away from having to make the choice between keeping things powered up to be able to be responsive, and powering things down aggressively to save power.

Linux support for ARM big.LITTLE Posted Feb 20, 2012 12:17 UTC (Mon) by khim (subscriber, #9252) [Link] Hardware is in labs already (and should reach the market in a few years), it's time to think about software side. If we are talking about small tweaks then such hardware it not yet on the radar, but if we plan to create the whole new subsystem (task which will itself need two or three years to mature) then it must be considered.
