"... Despite that, idle power in Phenom II is greatly improved. When a single core is idle, the contents of its L1 and L2 can be flushed out to L3, allowing the processor to halt the clocks to that core - thus reducing power. The core will still consume leakage power, but it’ll be far less than if it were running at the lowest p-state."

Wenn das stimmt, dann müssten die kommenden 45 Watt Quads ohne L3 Cache doch im idle mehr verbrauchen oder?
