List of CPU power dissipation figures - Wikipedia
Summary
This is a list of CPU power dissipation figures of various consumer central processing units (CPUs). Core i7 is currently Intels highest end series of processors designed for gameplay and mid-range to high-end business computers. Core i7 processors are the first to use the Nehalem microarchitecture, and therefore reintroduce Hyper-threading and, in the 9xx series, introduce Intel QuickPath Interconnect, a point-to-point link that is up to 16 times faster than a quad-pumped FSB. The instruction pipeline was reduced to 12 stages, yet the fastest Core processor achieved a slightly higher clock speed compared to the Pentium M, thanks to a new 65 nm manufacturing process. Around this time, AMD gave their processors a name which indicated the equivalent clock speed when measured against the Thunderbird-based Athlon.
