CPU History Tour (2003 - 2008)

Published: (last update )


Fourth part of the CPU benchmark project. Explore the golden age of AMD when Athlon 64 was the top processor. Later, Intel's comeback with Core 2 completely changed the balance of power.

Isolated power consumption of the CPU is measured directly on the P4 12V connector of the PSU using shunt and two voltage meters. In this case measured power consists only of the actual CPU power consumption and losses of the VRM circuit.

The complete system (just the PC, without monitor) power consumption is measured using standard wall socket power meter. Values correspond to the full system configuration, as stated in the Test platforms chapter.
