pcstats -In house testing between an AMD Athlon64 FX-60 and Intel Pentium D 840 based system
illustrate the decreased power consumption of a FX-60, about 40W less power at idle
and about 45W at full load. Looking at total system power draw, with both cores
stressed, the AMD Athlon64 FX-60 system draws comparably less power than the
equivalent Intel PC under the same conditions.
