Subject: AMD Dual Core vs. Quad - Power Management
Date: Tue, 17 Jun 2008 15:00:25 -0700 (PDT) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <364301.54904.qm@web52506.mail.re2.yahoo.com> (raw)
Been running a few tests and an AMD motherboard booting 2.6.25 from flash uses 0.33 amps if the CPU is a AM2 Athlon 6000. But if I used a Phenom Quad core CPU 9550 it pulls 0.55 amps.
In theory the 9550 should pull less because it's a lower TPD and the phenom processor is supposed to be smarter about power management.
So - why is the Phenom pulling more power? Is it because power management software for the Phenom isn't updated yet?
