How much power do they really consume?

 

[PetNorth]

system power consumition, not CPU power consumition

Haha, yeah
THey are spec'ed at like 69w max I think.

Look at those...techReport is one of the best sites....

The 90nm 3500+ in the second link shows you a 90nm process when done right versus INtels attempt.....Also notice first link the tremendous watts of conumption under load for effexctively 2 3.2ghz (not even flagship 3.6-3.8ghz speed)....Very sad they dont have a handle on their power issues...

 

[Zebo]

There's no such chip.

Lol 4800+ vs 840 XE rigs = 108watts difference. Pitiful.

Just look at idle to load swings in terms of percentages..

A64 4800+ 205/139 = 1.47x or 47.5%

PD 840 = 292/159 = 1.84 or 83.6%
PD 840 EE = 313/158 = 1.98x or 98.1%

I see why maybe the HT is going to be nixed in this first batch...added 20 watts to an already desktop record 292 watts consumed under load....

And your bringing this up why?


Either way, us ocing gurus at XS.org got to see the dual core intel chip.

Jesus, that thing is HOT.

A prometia mach 2 single phase change was stuggling to keep it cool.

THe evaporator was hot and fans were running full speed. Talk about a heavy load.

It ran about -23 full load oced.

What a beast.
