I strongly suspect the system power used by the 5000+ system will also exceed the Conroe 2.67 power, and of course the latter has a ~20% performance advantage.

Re: I repeat, this time try READING what I say: Conroe 2.67+chipset will use more power than 5000++chipset You showed a comparison with the FX-62, which is rated 36 more thermal watts than the 5000+ and it drew only 24 watts more than the Conroe 2.67. Considering that the power supply and regulators amplify differences in CPU power, the data you provided proves the opposite of what you intended. I didn't state that you were wrong. The data wasn't meant to "prove" either conclusion yet, but it does indicate there is a good chance 2.67GHz Conroe+chipset will use the same or less power than the 5000+ and chipset. If you actually read my post and the review you'd see it was a 2.93GHz Conroe Extreme being tested, not a 2.67GHz Conroe.
