| AMD Athlon64-FX60 At the Turning Point | |

(Review by MS January 10, 2006) |
| AMD Athlon64 X2-3800+ (Manchester) |
Power Consumption: BIOS
Power Consumption: WindowsXP Idle
Two surprises right here, first, the FX60 does not draw more power than the X2-4800+. Second, unlike the Venice that, when overclocked, showed a substantial increase in power consumption, the FX60 is almost completely agnostic to clock speed ( e.g. 2860 MHz) - as long as there is no increase in core voltage.
Power Consumption: Prime95
Along the same lines, under full load, the FX60 actually draws less power than the X4800+. Keep in mind, though, that we are comparing two processors with different manufacturing dates and the lower power consumption may reflect the fine tuning of the silicon mixture in the Dresden Fab. Nevertheless, the numbers are very impressive.
