This blog is only updated during the Summer when I prefer to drink wine and discover new Vinters, Varietals, and Vineyards. However, from time to time throughout the year you may find a rouge post here and there. Please remember, that I am an amateur wine drinker, so my notes and observations on the blog are my own personal inexperienced notes. As I grow and develop my pallet, I hope that my notes and annotations will develop and refine as well. Until then, enjoy my blog and my adventures.

Wine Powered Computer?

Intel-Wine-Microprocessor-Wine-Button

As if wine wasn’t amazing enough, Intel has purposed a new computer chipset that could/would be powered by a glass of red wine! Intel has started looking into this future tech in hopes of connecting people in underdeveloped countries.

These low powered processors have become the main focus at the Developer’s Forum in San Francisco.

Dr. Genevieve Bell showcased the new technology by pouring a glass of red wine that was connected by two electrodes to a computer with an e-ink screen. The acid in the wine creates enough power to run the chipset. Though the tech is still decades away from being a truly viable power source for the 3rd world, it could be possible that future space exploration could be powered by this method.

POWER TO THE VINO

~Cheers
