euhm, an AMD64 @ 2.6 or 2.8 Ghz stomps a 3.4 Prescott into the ground and then pisses on it, AMD does much more per clockcycle so don't compare clockspeed to clockspeed...

An AMD at 2.6ghz will easily beat a 3.4ghz prescott. So why shouldnt it use the same amount of power? Over 100 amps? Where did you see that? I see 80A and 104 Watts. Yes the 3500+ looks a bit slow.. dont know whats going on there.
