that's -44C after the 3D tests

so in game (vantage) drop of almost 15% at with a CPU at 4.4GHz and 1.42v

that is just downright ing ridiculous beyond ridiculous

what the hell is going on here. Is Intel going back to those old Pentium nuclear plan reactors or something
With or without HT?

HT drives up consumption quite a bit.

Btw, why not hook up a wattmeter and see how much they really consume.

Also i think Ci7 is far away from P4, its faster then C2, consume less in idle and only consumes more in full load, but offers 8threads insted of 4.
