Although we have these two in the previous release of the product a lot of contrast in terms of performance, but for power consumption has not been associated test, so I came here today to address this aspect some 了解.

In order to better reflect the current mainstream platform power consumption, we have established the following test in all three sets of AMD and Intel platforms to simulate the actual consumer use of the platform, and these three platforms we have low, medium, and high different specifications to test.
