The Intel Core 2 Duo E6750 system consumes 123W of power
which is just 6W more than the Core 2 Duo E6600 system draws. That's very good
considering AMD's Athlon64 X2 4800+, which is also built on 65nm, uses 143W of
power at idle! The E6750 system is pulling about 3W more power than the single
core AMD Sempron 3600+ system at idle.

With one processing core running at full load (chart
below), the system consumes 151W of power. The only PC system that uses less is
the one equipped with an Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 and the single core AMD Sempron
3600+ processor. In comparison, an ancient Pentium D 940 CPU system pulls a
mind-blowing 230W of power while the Athlon64 FX-62 is no saint either at
196W!

When both processing cores are running at full speed, the
Intel Core 2 Duo E6750 system draws a paltry 163W of power! That's amazing when
you consider the Pentium D 940 system used 253W of power and the AMD Athlon64
FX-62 235W! Intel definitely seems to have the high power problem tamed, the
Core 2 Duo E6750 system is quite energy efficient compared to other platforms
PCSTATS has measured.
Now to the fun stuff, 1333MHz FSB processor overclocking!
