When total power consumption of the systems are measured the E7200 draws about as much (or as little if you like) power as a X2 4850:

When you look at performance however the E7200 beats the 2.5GHZ AMD CPU hands down being 25-50% faster depending on the actual benchmark (synthetic tests: 27%, office applications 52%, multimedia 30%, games 26%, overall 33%).

Now try to figure out how this translates into performance per watt ratios and what it tells us about value for money. The AMD needs to be cheap because it is slow.

"The Core 2 Duo E7200 (2.5GHz) is £75 and 65W. That is a 53% premium at a higher TDP."
