Keith, yeah, not everyone has the same flaws but we sure all have some. Tx for providing a bit of contra weight. OTOH the A64 X2 3800+ is a desktop voltage part. A only slightly hypothetical 4400+ that is volted down might help quite nicely to get close to par with this particular version of Yonah measured by Anand. So Pete/Petz's points might actually not be entirely out of wack. Lastly although it's not useful now DDR2 might help AMD based systems towards slightly lower power when it's actually released onto the market.

Anyways, I thought power consumption of the 3800+ and Yonah were quite close at idle, and that the difference between idle and load was quite close for Yonah.
