AMD Phenom II 920 & 940 Full Review

[Zucker2k]

I gave a disclaimer a few pages back; what you see is what you get. I'm on water ~ 72F ambients. I'm too lazy to use a multimeter right now, so software would have to do.

Thanks Zucker2k, but what does the power meter say? Is your system running on air or water cooling?
I'll post my results as soon as I get an PII.

EDIT: I see Amps and Watta ge in Everest but it seems everest uses the VID (1.25V) here to calculate the wattage and not the 1.38V really used atm. Beside that 16A look good for the cores but it's quite useless to compare cpu's consumption allone with all the different power sources used nowadays.

I thought this was a cpu to cpu comparison? I don't have the resources to do a platform comparison. See below.

System Specs.

Rampage Formula x48
Q9550 Quadcore C1 @ 8.5x471
4x 2GB G.Skill PC2-7200 @ 942mhz 4-4-4-10, 2.19v

Edit: I don't have a power meter, sorry. This does give a good indication of power consumption by the chip. It is relatively spot on.

Someone move this thread to AMD section...Admins there wont allow this OT and bull posts

Yeah let's gag this thread too.

0.66W at idle... Then why don't NASA use overclocked Core 2 processors in their Mars robot?

You've been spending too much time on the other side.

Ok, I will use the IES tool on the AsRock board. It's main usage is to power off unused phases but it's also good to monitor the current amps the cores use (without the NB phase). But it will not say much about the whole systems consumption.

no phail2 4 me. amd is mainstream now not a leader in performance. i had the power like that 2 years ago. i see not a single reason to switch from core2 to amd right now, it would be just a waste of $

i7 on the other hand is really powerful architecture. For multimedia pc it would be great, conversion times will improve allot from core2,

my only hope that with the great clock phail2 seams to get on LN2 it could compete on the ORB.
