ah i had results several months ago, just never posted them, so here they are if anyone is still interested:






amd x6 @ 3.7ghz
21k PPD
195w

i7 @ 3.7ghz
28k PPD
165w

i basically had the lowest voltage possible at 3.7ghz for both, all other parameters the same except CPU and motherboard (the PSU, memory, OS, BOINC, etc all the same). the i7 wins by a large lead in both power consumption and PPD. does anyone have any results where the X6 has higher output under similar paramters as your i7's?
