My question is, in short, what is the difference between:
1.0 Ghz Athlon T-Bird, 266 FSB
and
1.4 Ghz Athlon T-Bird, 266 FSB, underclocked to 1.0 Ghtz
As far as electrical usage is concerned... I know that under normal use, the 1.4 uses about 15-20 more watts than the 1.0, BUT would it use less at the same clock speed, and if so, how much less?
Logic tells me it would, becuase if it didn't I doubt it would be capable of sustaining 1.4 Ghz with such a low increase in watt usage. I am just curious if anyone knows how much less power it would use?
Is it fair to say that this watt rating would be consistant with the curve that exists as you start to compare wattage to clock speed as you overclock?
