Phenom-enal underclock !
Underclocking AMD's 45nm Phenom II X4 940 (4x 3,0 GHz) to 2,6 Ghz TDP drops to 70W only, and in idle mode using Cool and Quite to 15W only. That means 13% clock drop saves almost 50% in power consumption. And shows that Phenom is only power consumption limited.
Meaning that 3Ghz PhII Dual core will consume only 63W, and 3,4 Ghz dual core fits inside 95W power envelope, with the future PhII BE clocked even up to 3,6 GHz. Impressive.
