AMD claims that new desktop processors can reduce power consumption by nearly 30% when compared to its previous generation processors for greater performance-per-watt over its standard power desktop processors without compromising performance.
AMD further said that the line of energy-efficient 45-watt processors is designed to help reduce the noise and heat emitted from systems and offers a quiet, more pleasant computing experience. When paired with the AMD 780G chipset, energy efficient AMD Athlon X2 4450e and AMD Athlon X2 4050e processors can reduce power consumption at idle or during low usage, while helping to assure peak power efficiency for power-efficient processing.
