Intel Calls For More Modular PC Designs, Easier Component Replacement/Upgrades
In an Intel blog post today they outlined their desire for a more modular PC design to enhance repairability and reduce e-waste
In the lengthy Intel blog post they cite the growing e-waste problem and that more modular PC design goals can help address it by making it easier to repair and upgrade existing platforms. Adopting a modular PC design would lead to a reduced carbon footprint, more scalable systems, support the right-to-repair effort, seamless upgrades, more cost optimized, and easier product SKU management. By developing a new approach to system design that allows for easy upgrades and component replacements, we aim to significantly extend the usable life of computing devices, thereby reducing electronic waste and promoting a more sustainable consumption model.
