Intel DG35EC motherboard and a new ASUS P5E-VM HDMI BIOS in the near future, initial testing shows the Intel DG35EC providing results about 611 better than the ASUS board, additional AMD board results will be provided also).

The tests conducted on the sample are usually unaffected by the disturbance of the soil.

Lower power consumption has its place considering the cost, those that pay the bills will understand.

I am looking forward to the 780G roundup, if it includes the 8200, thats good too.

I have only been looking online because I tried to buy it a couple of times.

SPCR tested the exact same Asus board and managed no worse than 56W at idle although that was with a lesser spec and older less efficient E6400.

This makes me wonder how you managed to record 84W at idle with an E2200 when I managed 52.5W with an E2140.

The power supply used here is an EarthWatts (Seasonic) 500W 80, which seems to be ok even at those low levels.

Seeing the power numbers is great but without any performance context to them (or comparisons being kept to same brand models as close as possible) its hard to see exactly where this all fits in.
