The Battery Life Challenge - Balancing Performance and Power: Creating the 8-Hour Battery Life to Keep Your Mobile Lifestyle Working All Day

Overview Mobile computing has become a reality. Through the Wireless Verification Program, Intel and leading wireless LAN service providers have verified more than 40,000 hotspots around the world, with more cropping up each day. Mobile technology is continually advancing to keep up with the needs of the mobile user. But as Intel worked to make the ideal mobile experience, they found themselves up against an inherent struggle between extending battery life and improving mobile performance.

And performance requires power, which drains the battery.
