More Information

This Computer manufacturer is taking the environment seriously and has built a low power system using none other than the AMD BE-2300.
AMD is a wise choice for such a PC....AMD is leading the way!

Intel has ground to make up I believe

Green is in, that's for sure, with electronics manufacturers queuing up to tout their environmentally friendly credentials



Quote :

The processor is an AMD Athlon X2 BE-2300 dual-core chip running at 1.9GHz; Very PC tells us that free upgrades to the faster 2.1GHz chip are also available. The 'BE' is a codename for AMD's line of energy-efficient Brisbane processors, which draw only 45W of power compared to the 90-110W used by greedier chips



Quote :

It comes with 1GB of DDR2 memory, which is sufficient to run the supplied Windows Vista Home Premium



Quote :

when idle, power consumption sat just below 50W, only rising to around 60-70W when put under strain



AMD is saving the planet! AMD care about our electric Bills! AMD technology recommended! Intel are Evil! AMD4Life!

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.

45W?!? Damn!!! Doesn't AMD have any Low Wattage Chips???

How about a Chip using 2.5w idle and only 27w under load.
Oh, and magnitudes faster.

Or Perhaps You want Intels Cheaper 35w TDP lower end chips that come in cheaper than the BE.

Thanks for the amusing article.

IF AMD is saving the planet, them in going to revert over to intel, just for the shear spite that i am using that bit more energy and contributing to "global warming".

I hate environmentalists, there like the modern day hippie....Im sure they would all be happy if we lived in wood houses and drank boiled water as food. :fou:

global warming is a religion not a science

when you factor in how slow the cpu's are the 50w = 200 intel watts

70w intel cpu = 200watt amd cpu

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.

Global warming is no religion. It will always happen, no matter what. After global warming comes the Ice Age. The true question is, do we humans speed global warming up?

Didn't bother reading the article. :)

Well that's impossible, caamsa.

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

Hey to get really low, how about the new Intel Menlow processor that has a idle watt usage of just .5 watts. But don't take it on my word only.
