| Low Power and Energy-Efficient CPUs from Intel and AMD Core2 Duo E6300 vs. X2-3800+ (ADD) and X2-4600+ (ADO) | |

(Review by MS, August 20, 2006) |
3D Rendering Power: Caligari TrueSpace
Adam Trachtenberg's Vases were rendered at 1024x768 with 2x AntiAliasing enabled. Shown is the runtime in seconds, lower is better.
The E6300 with its smaller cache is markedly slower than the E6700 and E6800. The "ADO" 4600+ puts up a good fight for placement in the performance field, and even the "ADD" 3800 is only one place behind the slowest Core2 Duo.
If we take the runtime in second and multiply it by the power draw measured throughout the render pass, we get the total power per render pass:
In terms of energy efficiency, there is literally nothing that comes even close to the "ADD" 3800+. The Core2 Duos are doing very well, too but interstingly, the E6300 is overall the lowest performer within its own family. That does not change the fact that it is worlds apart from any P4 processor.
