@RZBORUSA - FBDIMM The AMB chip seems to take relativly big power, the region is between 8 and 11W per module. So, when you have 4 DRAM modules, the system will end up with around 40W more. So, when we look at the typical 2P system, which some users stress all the time and we take a normal 4 DRAM setting (should be more), the added power for 1 socket or 1DC CPU is 2x8/11W or around 16-20W. So when we assume a VERY VERY healthy 65W from Intel, you could add 16-20W for AMD and this will end up powerwise in parity. So AMD could do 80-85W Server units and in the end it would consume nearly the same. Now you could look at the northbridge - thx, to the elegant AMD design, the power in AMD systems isn't that big, you could add AGAIN for Intel near 10W and more, so for again 1 socket it will cost Intel another 5-10W. So, AMD would now end at 90-95W for one unit to be on par. When you add more memory, the equation gets way worse for Intel and when you start with 80W at Intel ... Make your own assumptions ... ;-)) BUGGI
