ok, so i was looking into buying a cpu,
i looked particularly at the
phenom II x4 965
&
core 2 quad q8300
as of now, theyre both about the same price
the one thing is worrying me,
the phenom is a 125w
and q8300 at 95w
im not sure how this works, but under full load, not overclocked, would this mean that the power consumption would be that listed? meaning that the 965 would consume a lot more energy meaning higher electric bill?
if so, which would be more efficient to have? the phenom or the C2Q?
*wonder wonder^^
