Provisonal comparison based on P4 and stock speeds benchmarks here.

E6300 - 3800+

E6700 - 5500+

Edit: quad core grayed out (use two cores as e6700)

An E6300 only has the folding capacity of a 3800+... that's just not true.

Do we know anyone folding on a stock E6300 and a stock 3800+ to compare though?

My PPD has gone up about 600PPD after I borged a part time E6400 on Friday with crappy WUs.
My full-time OCd 4400+ only manages 600PPD with the best 600 pointers.

That what the benchmarks say e6300=3800+
Only unclocked C2D I know off is a e6400, and it just beats my 805D on proformance so thats sounds about right.
But you can Oc the pants of them (as we all know) almost doubling proformance.
Lady 3 - [email protected] =5000pts (5000/4.4) 1136
Bloke 1 - 4800+ =3800pts (3800/4.8) 792
SB - 4400+ =3800pts (3800/4.4) 864
Bloke 2 - e6300 =3000pts (3000/3.8) 790
SS - 805D =2800pts (2800/2.66) 1052

Your benchies must be wrong then, not only does my real-life example suggest the benchies are wrong, the CPU test in this months CPC mag has benchies for Fah and the X2s are no where near the C2Ds.
Not having a go but so far E6300 = 3800+ doesn't stack up

e6300 are not as quick as people make out to be from what i have tested, i made a work rig for my dad a few days ago, did a quick set of benchies. sp1.5, CB & multipi, safe to say i understand the only reason people get them is to oc, at stock they are nothing really special.
How about a quad core league, for qx, quadfather and dual dualcore system owners?
That would rake in the wu's/points

Not many people have Quad Core or Dual Dual-Core. So we could just end up with only a handful of entries at most.

I suppose lol.
I was thinking about a couple of things just now and we ought to sort them out.
1: We should decide on the format asap. Shadow's is my favourite minus the "wallet wonder" league.
2: We should start thinking about prizes and who is going to handle them. Assuming of course we able to do this. Would be nice if a Don could let us know for sure whether we can or can't have them.
3: We need to decide who is going to run this competition. I know everyone has ideas and input, but when it gets right down to it we can't ALL run it. Too many cooks and all that. Once we have finalised a format we can work out what tasks need doing and take a vote or something.

E6400 is nowhere near 115W load, even overclocked!
Intels top TDP they say is 65 or 75, can't remember which.
Even then F@H isn't using that much.
My E6600 @ 3.535ghz is using 110W roughly

that's the whole system btw - mobo/ram/hdd & the cpu
CR - thanks for the real life info - most of the figs are from tom's hardware (that totally non-bias site) so I'd take them with a pinch of salt.
Benchmarch are in our very own sticky!
But that said - it's all illustrative.

So who is volunteering to find all the TDP info for every CPU, Mobo and RAM that is to be entered?

Mobo (by chipset groups) and ram (by voltage groups) at stock are much the same. So I'll do that.
Oc'ed stuff will use more watts but I'll just make a reasonable guess if I cant find fig's.
I'll tabulate (and simplify) the results for publication prior to the big day. And do a wattage totalling service to all participants.
What would really help is if you guys could measure how much Lecky your rigs use and supply me with the details. That way I can double-check web info.
For those without a voltmeter, use your electric meter (set rig to fold cpu@100%, turn off screen - note value - wait 10mins - note value - power down pc - turn off at plug - note value - wait 10 mins - note value )
Note: It's obvious I know but try not to change background electric load while testing!!! (Read a book/use a battery operated electrical device/wrap presents/talk to someone)
Edit: for thoses with GPU folding - please complete test with only your cpu folding at 100%

How would one measure the pc power with a multimeter?
And using the main electricity meter is going to be difficult because you have to watch out for things like fridges starting up, heating and heaters coming on and off and whatnot.
I still can't decide which competition method i like best. I'm finding it a bit overwhelming the amount of good suggestions we have. I need to have a good long think.

You would first measure the mains voltage in parallel with the load. This could just mean sticking the leads into the socket. You'd then splice into the power cable to measure the current in series with the load while the computer is switched on. You'd multiply the two numbers together to get the power because P = I*V.Joe42 said:
For example if you measured 220 Volts and .5 Amperes you'd get 220 V * .5 A = 110 W.

What's all this TDP malarky going on in here? Suggestion - keep it simple, stupid (link) 
Not exactly trouble free then.BillytheImpaler said:
I don't fancy sticking a metre into anything mains powered and i don't fancy splicing any cables. I would be happy to buy a little power meter though and do some measurements.
If SS wants some power figures he should make his way over to some of the review sites which measure system power consumption of everything they test. Here for example.
