Not quite, IIRC average power for the 2GHz G5 is 50-70W, Intel P4EE is 92W, the next gen will be over 100W.


Hmmm....I would have expected better, if a
1GHz G4 consumes around 10W, I would figure -
considering more advanced fabrication process/
etc - that the G5 would maybe consume 20 - 30%
more...50-70W is a huge jump from 10 or even 20W.

I hope IBM can cut power consumption to
a more reasonable amount in future chips.
