New 80GB PS3 provides minimal power savings
The newest 80GB Playstation 3 units are believed to have the 65nm chips under the hood. According to a buyer of the new 80GB unit, the buyer found out his older 40GB units sucked 125.8-watts when idle. His new 80GB unit sucked 111.9-watts.
Unfortunately, this mighty fine fellow is planning to return the new unit after being disappointed by the minimal energy savings, so he’s not apt to rip the thing open and prove once and for all what kind of GPU is in there.
Basically if your looking for a PS3 that saves power, don’t bother, just buy any.

Hmm… returning a games console because it doesn’t save enough power?
Who breeds these morons?
