[Goksly]

Shows how badly the power usage / ghz gets near the high end :S

Great review.

 

[Lightnix]

Wow, they could market a 500mhz quad core part for extremely high-end subnotebooks...

So that review used the stock cooler? Not possible... if it was then god help us all I would be able to run my very own nulcear power station at home yay

 

[Tetras]

Am I reading that wrong or 36 Watts power consumed full load @ 2.4 Ghz?

Custom watercooling for the overclocking tests.

Amps.

36 x 1.2 = 48ish watts

Thats amazing for a quad

Although then we are pushing 225W at 4.4Ghz (150x1.5)

That was a really good article, explained some complicated ideas pretty clearly.
