lol, well P4's with HTT aren't worth much to me, so you can imagine what i think of non-HTT P4's (and Celerons). Damn energy-suckers.

 

[Lord Kalthorn]

Haha. What about 840s?

 

[acphenom]

Even worse, lol. There was an article about it i saw the other day, showing that even without Cool 'n' Quiet enabled, Athlon 64 Venices consumed as much power, under load, as idle Pentium D's. Disgraceful.

 

[Lord Kalthorn]

Haha. Is power seriously a reasonable problem?

 

[alvino]

Yes! Especially when Intel couples that with poor performance.

 

[acphenom]

Yes, definitely. Man, i don't wanna bore you with stories about ice caps and shit, but care about the poor Earth, dude, putting up with all that carbon dioxide. AMD - friends of the Earth.

Man, if i was gonna get a desktop, i'd love one based on the new VIA C7. Dammm, that processor looks sexy.

Depends on you idea of poor performance I would call a Dual Core Processor only being able to organise two threads poor performance and dreadful PCMark 04 Scores poor performance
