It seems like AMD's power savings just doesn't compete with Intel. I'm a few generations out of date, but my computer setup idles at ~200W, whereas a few-generations-older Intel HEDT that it replaced idled near 50W. Not turning my computer off at night costs $14 a month!
(BTW, monitors will get you. With my monitors on reading HN, I'm burning 400W!)
