It seems to use a bit less power than the phenom. The case is weird : fan *outlet* on front where drives would normally be and where I used to have fan inlets blowing cold air over the drive(s), no other fan except in PSU, but it blows cool air out in a room at around 20 to 22°C. It has been up for a day or two at a time when building systems natively and in qemu, this was the first problem apart from errors in my scripts.
And so far I've always preferred AMDs because they are usually cheaper to put together (my i3 came pre-built at a price I could not get anywhere near if I had assembled it from components). But I think that kernel changes in the last couple of years have made AMDs appear to become slower, e.g. the use of the ACPI cpufreq driver. ĸen -- Nanny Ogg usually went to bed early.
