With both Bay Trail and AM1 as the new kings of power efficiency I have tried to re-vamp my table.
There are three problems translating the specs into real-life performance:
- TDP is what it is, it is *NOT* a definite measurement of real-life power consumption.
- Crunching-wise, an IGP gets you far more credit than the cores of your CPU itself.
- Knowing how much Watt TDP per core is used still says nothing about the credits per core earned.
Knowing that I still went on producing a top-16 list of this moment's coolest CPUs (or SOCs, or APUs, whatever)

If anyone can point me to a table containing real-life (BOINC) power consumption per cpu and/or Mips/GFlops per cpu (as given in the BOINC Manager for the above models, plus the IGP power for those CPUs that have them), I'd be most grateful...
