Curious to know about the recently released AMD 740G chipset? If you are
like most of our readers you may not have even heard of it, though it was
released weeks ago.

Quote: "The greatest strength of this platform is likely the power
consumption. At idle, with 2GB of memory, a 500 GB HD, a BD drive, and a X2
4050e, the system was pulling a very meager 55 watts from the wall. At full
load it was pulling 91 watts. If we consider that the Atom and Nano
platforms that Ryan tested last week were around the same idle power, it is
impressive to think that a comparatively fast dual core processor with a
fairly robust integrated graphics portion is sitting in the same area at
idle, and at full bore it is about 20 watts higher than the Nano with its
VIA/S3 Chrome based chipset."

Thanks for a post!
