AMD's 45nm Deneb strikingly good at full power load.


While at idle computing load difference in power consumption is 12% at full load it consumes strikingly 45% lower than 65nm Phenom. Using 1,5MB L3 and 15W per core at 2.3GHz clock, that is amazingly low power consumption.

Comments:
well, well, deneb is definitely low power,instead nehalem is huge, seriously, just look at the photos(www.maximumpc.com),this size is necessary for the hyper threading(which is known for increasing power usage) , intel had to show something thats much better than core2 and probably this is the only way of getting the performance they needed,but they are sacrificing power efficiency. this is quite similar to nvidia's strategy, with its huge monolithic chips in order to keep supremacy at any cost.
imagine an 8 socket server with energy efficient shangay, versus 8 sockets server with greedy nehalems (130 watts tdp?)

and how overclockable is nehalem i seriously doubt it is going to be as good as core2(no with that size and tdp), until now they have shown just 3.2 gigahertz, interesting days,this days,
