G5 970FX 2GHz : 24.5W (normal load)
Opteron 246 2.0: 84.7W to 89 W (different AMD sources) (Thermal Design Power)
G4 1.33: 45 W (normal load)
G5 2GHz: 55 W (normal load)
Athlon XP 3200+: 77 W (Thermal Design Power)
Intel's 3.2GHz P4: 82W (Thermal Design Power)
Itanium 2 1.5 6M: 107 W (Thermal Design Power)
Xeon 3.2: 110 W (Thermal Design Power)
Comments, please:
Laptops?
Scalability?
The G4 1.33 at 45 W and the G5 2 GHz at 55 W numbers are both max load, not normal load.
However, the G5 970FX 2 GHz isn't that fast anymore. I'd estimate Xeon 2.8 territory. The 2.5 GHz is VERY fast and is supposed to come out soon (being announced today), but what I've read is that its normal load usage is 52 Watts, which means probably means its max load is comparable to the Opteron. So:
G4 1.33: 45 W (max load)
G5 2 GHz: 55 W (max load)
Athlon XP 3200+: 77 W (Thermal Design Power)
Intel's 3.2 GHz P4: 82W (Thermal Design Power)
Opteron 246 2.0: 89 W (Thermal Design Power)
G5 2.5 GHz: ??? ~90 W (max load)
Itanium 2 1.5 6M: 107 W (Thermal Design Power)
Xeon 3.2: 110 W (Thermal Design Power)
