Energy consumption

The energy consumption analysis puts on evidence the enhancements made by ATI on their 40nm technology. With a full system consumption of 128 Watts when in idle and 287 when in full load, it’s clearly an enhancement from the values obtained with the “bigger” cards, such as the 5870 and 5570.

With these optimizations, the Radeon HD 5750 is capable of keeping consumtions that are lower than the HD 4770, for example.
