Re: Give me a break! No one buys a Sempron and puts it in an NVidia 590 SLI motherboard. That chipset is known for its high power consumption. I'll let the independent thinkers of this forum make their own conclusions, Petz. In my experience, most intelligent people can determine a comparison most appropriate for their needs by discounting the additional chipset power by 10-20W (assuming that they are using an AMD690G), and see that the figures are still very much in Intel's favor. On the other hand, those who have an AMD agenda are usually the ones who claim that the review is useless, and that people should throw out all the results, when the numbers don't align in AMD's favor. By the way, nVidia's chipset has a largest share and installed base of AMD based chipsets at the moment. It is actually quite likely that Sempron owners will use one of these motherboards and achieve similar results as in the review: newegg.com
