In Reply to: RE: Avoid it - high power consumption @TDP=95W vs E7200's 65W. Also, no benefit from extra 2 cores. nt posted by Cyberlacunae on September 04, 2008 at 22:03:13

E7200 already provides massive processing capability with a single core comfortably doing 192k high quality SRC upsampling (145db SNR). So much so that its underclocked for playback (1.66GHz, 90% core cpu load). Design is for low power consumption rather than low CPU utilisation.

Maximum current draw for E7200 is 75A vs Q6600 115A. With lower VIDs, lower max current applies.

In cMP, 2 cores are needed for optimal playback. Additional cores may be useful with very heavy upsampling demands but this requires SRC to be multi-threaded (not the case now).
