Were these tests done with C1E enabled? Also, can you confirm that the Northbridge now has multiple P-states and clocks down at idle too?
Overall, C3 looks like a good chip. I may ditch this Phenom II 940 in a couple of months for one.
Looking at hes graphs I'd say no, atleast not now. Idle should be much lower.
I still believe that the NB has multiple P-States but I suppose that hes BIOS doesn't support such features yet?
Nice preview, keep the results rolling!
