No you really don't want that because you will get some clueless eco warrior politician saying "cards shouldn't use more than a 100W"

That does worry me as there is no shortage of clueless politicians.
AMD and Nvidia (I guess intel as well). Need to have a gentlemen's agreement similar to what the motorcyle industry has.
we won't go above XXXW for our consumer stuff.

Can help you out by take one of your hands Kaap. Happy to provide payment towards postage and packing
Unfortunately I still need them.
Having said that in a couple of months time the post and packing will be worth more than the cards.

In the motorcycle industry is this a BHP limit?
It was on the top speed of motorbikes. So they either have a limiter that tops out at 189mph (300 kph) or the speedo stops functioning.
I think it has been in place since the early 2000’s and is followed by the big players for their street bikes.

Thanks for the above.
I knew there was talk about 35 years ago about the manufacturers doing something but I never knew what happened until now.
I don’t trust a word they say. They got big on click bait lies.
To be fair, the EU also did it with vacuum cleaners 5 years ago and the ones we buy today are quieter and more power efficient to the extent that hoovers without cables have taken off. https://www.currys.co.uk/gbuk/techtalk/not-just-hot-air-the-new-eu-vacuum-rules-explained/Thanks for the above.

I'm not opposed to some kind of power limit, the point of regulation is to intervene where the market isn't acting for the good of society. Guess the trick is what the limit should be
Would be hard to launch them next month if they weren’t.
Vacuum cleaners have been a bit rubbish since TBH - in the old days you only had to look at an errant sock or something and it would be up the nozzle in a flash - these days they struggle with just a bit of dirt...
Though I'm not sure how much that is down to regulations and how much to just manufacturers creating ever poorer products.
Can't say I've noticed to be honest, but then I don't have kids or pets...or very lush carpet
I've a medium thick carpet in my bedroom and none of the modern vacuum cleaners are effective on it - I've been through several of the "top 10" and even the all singing all dancing Dysons are just woeful compared to the old ones, the only one I've found that is close is the Henrys.
I got a shark upright which is quite good.

Still use less watts than an nvidia?

I hear you brother Rroff. There's nothing worse in life than trying to hoover a carpet with a thick pile. I don't know about you, but personally speaking it was my 'nam' moment.
