AMD used in Green low power consuming PC!

Oh noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.... Not again! Here we go with another 250 posts respondng to this flamebait.

50 watt idle, 60-70 under load? About the same power consumption as my P4 HTPC rig. I guess I'm saving the planet too.

Quit advertising on the THG forums

AMD's killing the world if anything. Howz that green?

First of all, I would simply question this article's validity. The author confused TDP with power consumption. They are not the same.


Secondly, this is getting old. Grow up.

Enough said.

I didn't either. I just read the quote, and point out the error.

Well that's impossible, caamsa.

The best thing I can do is go off topic and get this thread locked.

Perhaps we can try setting the record of getting the thread locked?

What is the record anyways?

Actually I think she was more like Bi-SLI....

Nope, no lockage, but there will be a lot of deletage.

Guess no one else is old enough to get the Jenny, Jenny refernce

I only knew it from watching Nick@Night re-runs of Cheers when they had an episode with the song in it.

Yup. This isnt the 'basement',---the only place that stuff was fit for.....this is a 'family' site man, keep it clean and skip the innuendo.

True enough.

To be fair atleast we kept it "high brow." Kinda...

Well back to the topic

No way right? I don't run Vista but I heard 2Gig is the bare minimum to run Vista smoothly.

I was waiting for strangestranger.

Now wouldn't that be fun.

Ahhhh good ol thunderman. Always doing something useless.

I could point out that Intel could release the tera-scale CPU and have that in full use that uses barely 62watts but does the job of 130 regualr CPUs. Yea its a bit more but when you factore in the work it does it cuts its watts used down a lot where as anything from AMD can still only act as one CPU.

I think it would be interesting to see the tera-scale setup as a hom CPU or even just in the server arena for now. Maybe AMD should try for a tera chip.

/WW wont come upstairs will he?

It is, but certainly not good enough for E2160.

50W peak at load, for the entire computer.

Unfortunately, Turion loses out to Centrino in terms of power consumption, and performance. With the debut of 45nm mobile Core 2, the gap is only getting bigger.

I admire your inability of calling a spade a spade. AMD had their moments, but they currently are not the winner here.

The Pentium Dual core series is the lowest power consumption DC processors Intel currently offer....their chipsets are power hungry. An AMD chipset motherboard is not only cheaper, also lower in power consumption. Intel motherboards are expensive and the cheap ones suck....it would of destroyed the whole concept of this being a cheap low priced PC. The manufacturer would have have weighed up the pro's and cons of using Intel or AMD...then decided AMD was the better logical choice and what their customers want.

Evil Intel copy everything AMD! AMD innovate! Intel are Evil! Save the planet and buy AMD!

AMD4Life!

I'd rather kill the planet in order to get rid of people like you.

kthxbye

Ah, the first step of the grieving process... denial

Post Of the Thread

Glad that you could take the time to respond to anyone questioning your other posts

I'm surprised you didn't start another thread with this paragraph, actually I guess it's because you haven't caused enough of a poostorm already in this thread.

I had to take points off for reusing the exact same strategy over and over again but why change something that works for you?
