You should try doing some research, before posting things like that: AMD Power & Thermal data sheet.Originally posted by: Furen
No they dont, they use something like 70W at full load at full clock and way way less in idle at 1GHz (something like 20W or so)...

Besides, between the two companies, they don't even use the same definition of TDP. :laugh:

So, you're worried most about energy efficiency? In that case, keep your 3500. The X2 4800's use 110 watts when running at 2.4 Ghz, and use 46.6 watts, when running at 1.0 Ghz. Your single-core 2.2 Ghz E6 uses 67.0 watts at 2.2 Ghz, and 36.1 watts at 1.0 Ghz.
