maybe but at same speeds it consumes about 50% less compared to phenom I... but you will be right most obviously. power draw rises immensely with higher clocks and voltage. my agena throws 425w at me using my power meter with quadprime running at 3,4ghz. thats 250w more then idle , minus 20% equals 200w more then idle so roundabout 200w power draw from the cpu alone if you allow the overall system a 40w more power when full load without graphics. i hope i wont see these numbers with deneb again
