AMD phenom II X6 hexacore vs Intel i7 quad HT

[WhiteFireDragon]

The X6 uses a higher vcore (1.36v @ 3.8) vs the 920 (1.18 @ 3.8) but it definitely pushes out less heat....

Conclusion: Slightly higher power consumption for the X6 but a cooler farm

that may not be the case since they're different platforms. AMD generally has a higher vcore reading from cpuz, but that doesn't guarantee it to have a higher power consumption. if it runs cooler, logically it should have a lower power consumption.

dam i wish i had mine running . i picked the wrong AM3 mobo, and now both my thuban and mobo is sitting doing nothing.
