The Future of Things has published a huge feature on Green Computing, with a focus on VIA's green computing initiatives as they stand now and the vision for the future as well. The article is a wonderful resource for understanding the environmental pitfalls of computing and the established industry standards such as RoHS and lead free production. Gaynor de Wit, deputy director of processor platform marketing at VIA is also interviewed about why VIA has a green computing initiative and how it has affected VIA's work space, costs and R&D."On the manufacturing side, the removal of hazardous substances raises several technical challenges, especially the replacement of lead as a stable solder substance. However, an aggressive approach to the problem, starting five to six years ago, allowed our engineers the time to experiment with effective replacement alloys, so that our processor platforms were effectively manufactured lead-free long before the industry was mandated to do so." |
