Does 4 phase motherboards has lower power consumption consumption than 8 phase?
i just read a few articles regarding AMD X2 3800+ EE, than actually seem to be higher in power consumption in 6 phase compare to 4 phase
also i found this on anandtech regarding a8n32-sli
my question is does more phases in motherboard will affect power consumption?

One of the main design features that Asus engineered into this board is an exclusive 8-phase voltage regulator power design that can significantly lower operating temperatures while reducing input ripple current and output ripple voltages . In fact, the input ripple current is over three times lower than a traditional 4-phase design while output ripple voltages are four times lower. The power consumption compared to the 4-phase design is about 10% less while the 8-phase design has the advantage of quicker transient responses and increased dependability due to lower thermal values.
