Re: It will save power in the chipset and power draw, which is higher than average CPU thermal But you didn't include chipset power in your calculations, just memory controller. Please, show me a chipset power comparison between Intel's 945 and NVIDIA/ATI chipsets for Turion X2 which includes the northbridge and southbridge. And 40w is not "close" when you add the MTH power draw. But Woodcrest uses a 1333MHz FSB, not a 667MHz FSB like Merom. Wouldn't Merom also use lower leakage transistors than Conroe and Woodcrest? And you asked about a Conroe near 35W, not a "Conroe+memory controller" near 35W. Which system do you feel will draw more power under load...a 2.6GHz Athlon 64 5000+ or a 2.67GHz Conroe?
