[QUOTE="Marcusb, post: 176696, member: 11550"] I haven't read any of the lnks in this thread yet, but to just add my 2 cents (and apologies if it's been said in a link already) but when looking at the power performance of the two CPU makers, you should also take into account that an AMD CPU and mobo combo uses less power than an intel combo, even if the intel CPU uses less power. This is because the AMD CPU includes the memory controller and a few other things that used to be on the motherboard. Plus, with AMDLive, the motherboards can also utilise quite good power savings. I think Intel Viiv can do this too now, but I don't think that is very widespread at this stage. Then again, I'm not too well read on Intel specs. My AMD AM2 4800 dual core CPU idels at room temp with the stock cooler. I think it has a max power rating of 65w and only cost me a very small amount (relatively). [/QUOTE]
