http://www.behardware.com/articles/880-2/amd-fx-8350-review-is-amd-back.html energy consumption: http://www.behardware.com/articles/880-4/amd-fx-8350-review-is-amd-back.html 363 Watts with liquid nitrogen! http://www.behardware.com/articles/880-5/amd-fx-8350-review-is-amd-back.html http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/cpu/display/amd-a10-5800k_2.html I've been wondering about power draw. The TDP specs look like "not to exceed" numbers for the use of mainboard designers. E.g. several different chips have identical TDP numbers, and in some cases it looks like they would likely have significantly different power usage. It would have been either the Trinity or the Piledriver families I was looking at, forget which. Reviews often have actual power measurements, but reviews usually don't test all the chips in a family, just one or two.
