<<Cube's is just under 1 watt.>> Trying to figure out the power consumption. CUBE's FAQ contains conflicting statements: c-cube.com C-Cube's ZiVA is one of the few integrated decoders which has been in production for several months. In February 1997, C-Cube introduced one of the first highly integrated decoders which replaced as many as 6 chips in the first generation DVD players. In May 1997 C-Cube announced the first decoder to integrate the CSS copy protection scheme prescribed by the DVD consortium. With a clock speed of 90 mHz, C-Cube's decoder is faster than most others announced, and it can run on as little as 1.4 watts, making it one of the lowest power consumers on the market. The portable PC offers an even longer term market for hardware solutions because software decoding will drastically reduce battery life. Microprocessors powerful enough to perform MPEG-2 decoding and decryption dissipate around 8 watts of power. C-Cube's ZiVA video RISC microprocessor dissipates about 1 watt. Which statement is correct? And is "about one watt" more or less than one?
