Minimum power consumption

[Whisper]

My brother noted that his Pentium 4, 2.4 GHz consumes 60 Watt maximum, but only 10 Watt when idle. This got me interested to know what other processors, like Athlon 64 and Prescott consume at minimum. Anyone know where to find these numbers?

Nobody?

intel and amd both have datasheets on their websites that will give you exact numbers, though you may need to do some math (to convert amperage to watts for instance).

Thanks but, I couldn't find it anywhere. Probably looked in the wrong place...
