Playing MP3
Power consumption of the fanless VIA EPIA ME6000 is around half of that of the reference
platform at 51.9%. It is interesting to note that for MP3 playback the fanless VIA EPIA VE5000
only uses around 30% of the power that the reference platform uses. This is significant power
sensitive systems like car MP3 players are gaining in popularity.
