As soon as you turn your look to performance per Watt, either line of desktop processors is no longer reasonable, IMO. All of the desktop processors are clocked far too high (i.e. are operated far away from the sweet spot), and have far too low processing capacity per socket (thus have relatively high platform power overhead).

Asteroids@home did not issue new tasks for ~15 hours straight now. This doesn't bode well for the sprint. But it's no big surprise after having seen how this project performed at the Pentathlon.
