This is a good sign, spreading the 'give away' love on a couple models, means they are trying to clear the channels for Zen :pimp:
Power usage is'nt important. Nobody on the planet games for 24/7. Who gives a crap anyway 30watts more on load compared to a intel counterpart?
OC these things to 5GHz or above and things fly. :)
It's not so bad as people think. Still offers plenty of performance.
also, you system specs don't look like you are an "energy saving enthusiast". so, there's that.
I don't like burning through lots of power, but I am a programmer and I also play games (time permitting), so going low-power/HTPC isn't the best option for me.
Turn on CNQ, undervolt CPU, turn Vsync on, underclock GPU / mem (GPU's still work fine with 100 to 200Mhz less btw) and put power savings in anything thats possible.
Enjoy a slow system. :)
In a nutshell, electrical bill considerations by an Intel fan!
We're at a stadium that CPU power does'nt matter really much these days. Any high-end AM3+ system is still able to compete in many applications and games compared to intel. It just comes with a small higher power usage, and those buying the cherry picked 5GHz version dont care about that.
Back in the days, we used to had CRT's in our rooms, that would warm up the entire room without having the heater on. Those things sipped up to a few hunderd watts an hour. Nobody complained back then about power usage.
