Power consumption of different processors

Power consumption of different models and types of processors

The processor inside a computer is the most powser hungry component inside a computer. This article gives details about the power consumption of different models and types of Intel processors.

Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 (2.40 GHz):
1. Idle Condition : 154 Watts
2. Load Condition : 243 Watts

Intel Core 2 Duo E4700 (2.60 GHz):
1. Idle Condition : 144 Watts
2. Load Condition : 240 Watts

Phenom II X4 945(3.00 GHz):
1. Idle Condition : 139 Watts
2. Load Condition : 220 Watts

Athlon II X4 620(2.60 GHz):
1. Idle Condition : 153 Watts
2. Load Condition : 204 Watts

Phenom II X2 550(3.10 GHz):
1. Idle Condition : 150 Watts
2. Load Condition : 196 Watts

Intel Core i5 750 (2.66 GHz):
1. Idle Condition : 106 Watts
2. Load Condition : 178 Watts

Intel Core i5 661 (3.33 GHz):
1. Idle Condition : 88 Watts
2. Load Condition : 142 Watts

This shows that the Intel Core i5 661 configuration uses only 88 watts at idle and 142 watts under load condition. So the Intel Core i5 661 is nearly 20% more efficient than the Core i5 750 when under load condition, and nearly 35% more efficient than Phenom II X4 945 processor.
