C2D Efficiency & Performance

Shamino at VR-Zone has an interesting look at power consumption and efficiency of Core 2 Duo versus FX-62 and Pentium D.

"The new Intel Core 2 Duo processors pull the margin away from it's previous processors in 2 different directions; not just offering significantly better performance, but accomplishing it drawing lesser power."

A little more of what we already knew, still interesting to see some actual $ numbers.

Am I the only one here that finds the fact that Intel Pentium D 830 numbers are lower than the FX-62, a hair strange?

Some interesting observations in that article. Intel simply seem to have got it right this time.
