Discuss idea: Improve energy efficiency further

Given the high power consumption of the current accelerators, work on decreasing the energy consumption of the on-board systems and reducing the heat.  AMD seems pretty clever on this already by ganging together several smaller, less power hungry chips (vs having one big power guzzler) and focusing on fast GDDR4 memory to more than compensate for the reduced bit width. This is a great approach that could be extended further.  I’m not exactly sure what else AMD is doing, but anything to reduce powder consumption is highly valuable (we are trying to go completely solar, but the big power drain is my graphics computer!)
