AMD Phenom II Review Thread

Its already available at newegg, 920 & 940...I cant understand why they are labelled at 125W because all denebs consume less power than high-end yorkies, which are rated 95W....very strange

Not really...



Maybe if you pair the yorkfields with an nVidia chipset. Or if just using idle numbers?

Look to Lost-Circuits review, and the table that was already posted in this thread. They do consume around what yorkfields do, but it can also depend on the motherboard.

In that chart I see a QX9650 use less power than a PH2 940 (Lowest of the 2 PH 940 numbers). All the rest of the yorkfields are missing besides the QX9770. Plus everything is old steppings I bet on the rest. There aint even a Q6600 there.

So no?

Its a THG wannabee site it seems.

wow, you really pick and choose what you read in people's posts. I said "around".
at idle:


and at load:


Even if it's an old stepping, how much has power consumption improved on those chips? Do you know? 68W vs ~65W, so they are "around" the same, or approximately similar. I remember seeing measurements of a Q6600, putting it at ~70-80W at 2.4ghz.

Well, doesnt change my point of view in rating denebs from 125W to 95W
