Power hungry is not a term I'd use to describe a Core 2 Duo. Or do CPUs need more power to run as they get older? That would be news to me.

- kcb 5y agoIt surely needs a lot more power to do the same work as a modern CPU. Like if you were encoding a video on it where against a modern CPU that may use the same power but finish many times sooner.
- Dah00n 5y agoThe new CPU has another carbon footprint added, plus the RAM and motherboard, etc. to overcome before it is comparable. I doubt a new CPU is effective enough to offset that anytime soon on an average use PC.
