Every newer PC that I've played with has used more power than the
previous.  Faster CPU, more cores in the CPU, more power.  Bigger
graphics cards, more power.  And it's almost unavoidable using bigger
graphics cards, thanks to desktop GUIs getting so bloated.

George Orwell's '1984' was supposed to be a warning against tyranny, not
a set of instructions for supposedly democratic governments.
