The one that you linked from the front page for power consumption!!!

I actually bothered to read all the way and:

1. They actually bothered to compare the processors scaling with the resolution and with AA/AF, secondly they had some "new" tests for me, like the loading times, and "Web" tests in which A64 pretty much destroys PIV's and in principle puts some numbers to the fact which people are saying that their system responds better and feels snappier with A64...

Interesting ...

that is why I am so happy with the 'upgrade' :)

a noticeable difference is not something I expected...

Yes i would have to say this was one of the better reviews of prescott vs. A64 i have seen. What is very interesting is how AA/AF and higher res actually do depend on the other components in the system.
