Benchmarks: Power Consumption
There's an advantage to running a stock-clocked Ivy Bridge processor, you know. It keeps idle power consumption down to a measly 63 watts - and remember, that's for the whole PowerGlide Extreme system, so it includes the display and speakers.
Stock-clocked, fast, and power-frugal, what's not to like?
Even with the GeForce GTX 670 shifted into gear, system-wide power consumption is kept just over 200 watts. A perfectly acceptable return, considering the frame-rates that are being spat out.
