Quick power consumption test
Since my new system has an "energy efficient" processor (45W), I thought I would do some measurement (I used HQ's Power Meter). I measured power consumptions in near idle states of the systems. Here are the data:
- System 1 - Fujistus Siemens Amilo-Si 1520 notebook (specs): ~30W
- System 2 - My old desktop computer: ~130W
- ABIT KV7 motherboard
- AMD Athlon XP Barton 2800+ 333MHz processor
- XPertVision Radeon 9600Pro 128 MB video card
- Seagate 80GB 7200 rpm SATA HDD
- System 3 - My new desktop computer: ~70W
- Gigabyte GA-MA78GM-S2H motherboard
- AMD Athlon X2 4850e processor
- Seagate 500GB 32MB SATA2
