Re: Here is a comparison between E4300 with G965/IGP versus BE2350 with 690G/IGP or X2 3800+ EE with 690G/IGP: techreport.com Notice how much lower 690G/IGP with either 2GHz X2 3800+ or 2.1GHz BE2350 than the 1.8GHz 2MB L2 1066MHz FSB E4300 with G965/IGP at both idle and under load. Yes, AMD's new low power 45W TDP parts actually get 5W lower idle power and 4W lower Cinebench power than Intel's 65W TDP Allendale chip. You must be quite proud of them, especially considering that their low power 65nm parts with special low power chipset is hardly much better than the Intel chipset you claim is poor at power efficiency. Go figure. But the question is, why bring this up in a mobile CPU discussion? Intel enables C4E Enhanced Deeper Sleep state on Merom, something that Turion doesn't even support (Turion supports up to C3, while Turion X2 only supports C1E). Intel also runs Merom at lower voltage than Turion (as low as 0.55V under C4E), something AMD is far from being able to match. By the way, AMD has yet to release thermal specs for their Turion X2 processors. Why is that? Are they embarrassed about the specs...?
