AMD Phenom II 920 & 940 Full Review [UPDATED with more tests]

[justapost]

No, total system consumption is still the best way to measure CPUs, now that Phenom and i7 have seperate power rails that don't just use +12V alone (IIRC).

For the PII it's still valid. But you are right it does not make sense with i7 any more.

@roofsniper: thx for details, prime95 varies alot depending on FFT size. povray benchmark generates an good consistent load and it's very similar to CB10 load. for worst case i always ask for CoreDamage or Core2MaxPerf.
