Want to compare Core i5 Ivy Bridge and Haswell mini-ITX and/or micro-ATX systems against my old Core2Duo for wattage pulled from wall socket. If you own a plug meter reader.
I know the newer and higher tier graphic cards are going to skew result. But even with a modest graphic card I'm expecting quad cores to be more power hungry.
My system is pulling:
67 watts posting this with a few browser tabs open.
155w standing at spawn spot in floating version of Sanctuary in Borderlands 2.
Core2Duo E8400 stock
4GB PC6400 RAM
Radeon 6850 1GB overclocked to 820/4200MHz core/memory
450W PSU (Bronze)
