When is AMD gonna make processors that will compete against intel in Power consumption ratio?
They already beat Intel in power consumption...
They're called Kabini and Temash, Intel has no answer for those.
As for desktops...well...
No one cares about power consumption on desktops...the difference is so negligible that it really doesn't matter. Desktops are about raw performance, and so power consumption doesn't come into play at all.
In fact...
If you are buying a PC and are concerned about the extra $0.57 per month it costs you to run an AMD, then you don't need to be buying a desktop PC at all...buy a tablet instead and see if you can get it to run Crysis 3 while it draws virtually no power. Otherwise power consumption is not a valid argument over desktop CPUs!
EDIT: Your air conditioner uses more power in 1 day than your CPU would in an entire year...do you turn off your A/C at home to save power? I bet not...if you do...kudos to you, move to a tropical climate in August and see if you can get away with that when it's 95+ degrees outside.
Wow good point. I got a question.
How do you calculate like, how much you gotta a month spend using the PC for 12 hours a day? I'm having a headache doing this.
Why on earth would you want to calculate 12 hours per day?
99.99999999999999999999999999999999999% of users don't experience FULL LOAD for 4 hours per day, much less 12 hours.
If you're talking about general use for 12 hours per day, then calculating full load difference for 6 hours per day is sufficient to give you a decent idea there...
