Looking at the power usage of the Atom, An eye opener and impressive... Is my 3+ year old Athlon64. Using kill-a-watt, my total consumption for Athlon64 3000, 320Gb SATA HDD, 300Watt Power supply, DVD writer, AGP external video card, and 1Gb memory:
Idle - 50watts Peak - 80watts >From the review, Atom power peaks at anywhere from 66-72watts and idle 49-55watts. Hey, AMD, repackage athlon64 as a competitor to the Atom... and named it Retro. :) -- regards, Andre | http://www.varon.ca On Thu, Oct 30, 2008 at 8:27 AM, Raul Limos <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On Thu, Oct 30, 2008 at 6:49 PM, Raul Limos <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > >> Check out also this review Intel Atom vs Via Nano: >> http://enthusiast.hardocp.com/article.html?art=MTUzNSwxLCxoZW50aHVzaWFzdA== >> > > Power usage, Nano vs Atom: > http://www.pcper.com/article.php?aid=597&type=expert&pid=8 > http://www.trustedreviews.com/cpu-memory/review/2008/08/14/VIA-Nano-vs-Intel-Atom/p5 > http://www.tweaktown.com/articles/1540/9/intel_atom_vs_via_nano_platform_comparo/index.html _________________________________________________ Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Mailing List http://lists.linux.org.ph/mailman/listinfo/plug Searchable Archives: http://archives.free.net.ph
