Benchmarks: Power Consumption
Modern components are often quicker than the previous generation, but we're also seeing healthy savings on power consumption. With a 22nm Intel Ivy Bridge CPU and a 28nm Nvidia GeForce GTX 670, Chillblast's Fusion Stealth is able to keep power-draw down to a reasonable 71 Watts when idle.
Cranking up the load on all available CPU cores quickly increases power-draw, but Chillblast's modest 4.3GHz overclock helps keep 2D power consumption below 150 Watts. That's nice and low for a powerful, high-end system.
The same applies on the GPU front. The GeForce GTX 670 offers high-end performance without needing big gulps of juice, making the Fusion Stealth relatively 'green' on the power front.
