I don't recall offhand what the power draw was of my AM1 Sempron 3850 quad-core system. I probably should have checked it before I ended up rebuilding the ITX case with a Haswell 1150 mini-DTX board.
Anyways, my G1820, under full compute load (both CPU cores, and the iGPU, on Collatz Conjecture in BOINC), is reporting under 34W total Package Power in HWMonitor.
Figure the SSD is at most 5W (5.0V, 1A), and the DVD drive is negligible when not being used.
So, figure maybe 50-60W at the wall, at most? (That might be a high estimate).
Single-threaded performance (browsing in Waterfox), is SO much better than the AM1 1.3Ghz rig. Power consumption seems similar.
Haswell Celeron for the win!
