[QUOTE="Spragleknas, post: 551955, member: 17435"] AMD uses 45W or 65W as TDP. This is not an exact measurement, though. I remember reading that a re-worked core got 45W TDP instead of 65W (or was it the other way around?), just because the measured wattage had gone below (or above) the threshold for this "grouping". Anyway, as MP does not use much power even when playing HD material (we all love DXVA), TDP does not matter, as it reflects a CPUs max usage. A mid-range Athlon II probably would not exceed more than 15-20 % (guestimate :D) of maximum performance. [/QUOTE]
