While this may be true, the overall power consumption of "modern" kit while
in use is much higher than older machines, so for something that sees a lot
of use, the "efficiency" issue is a bit of a red herring.
Actually if you take a two-three year old P4 system and compare it to a
new amd64 system I doubt the P4 system will win the consumption
comparison.
