I heard AMD has shorter battery life on laptop. Intel could last approx 5 hours, how many hours do you think AMD can last?

Need to know asap, ty.

it all depends on how you use your laptop when you're off the grid. Brightness, hard drive use, wifi etc all affect the battery life, but generally the intel core 2 duo's have better battery life.

This report shows that AMD consumes more power than Intel, thus have shorter battery life. According to the charts, AMD consumes 25-30% more power than the intel 2 duo cores.

If Intel last 5 hours like you say, AMD should last about 3.5 hours.

BUT battery life depends on a variety of factors. I myself have a Intel Core 2 Duo 7250 in my laptop and I can get about 3 hours. According to my laptop I would get about 2.2 hours if I had AMD instead.

i do know intel have better battery life in general. But do you know how long can AMD Athlon 64 X2 TK-55's battery life last?? unfortunately it doesnt say on future shop webpage.

it depends on which make and model of the laptop youre using..

Can you tell by just looking at this?? im not really compute r literate

How did my post go on top of yours

Just get either a Centrino or Turion processor and you know you'll be getting a good battery saver. That's all there is to it.

Definately Intel.

It's faster and more efficent. And the new one just came out, i think it was Dual Core Quad Processor. O_O must be an intense computer ^^

and Intel doesn't last 5 hrs. Unless all you do is type. You need liek a 12 cell battery which will stick out of you laptop. and make it ugly and heavy. ToT (yes i have it)

I have an intel core duo 2 and i get 3hrs (sometimes it goes 3 hrs and 30 mins) on power saver mode, even i have wifi on or watching videos.

Lol man...people and there generalizations

Dual Core Quad Processor.

ok the AMD im getting has 6000 maH, 9 battery cells. The intel one is 4800 maH, 8 battery cells. therefore AMD clearly has longer battery life.

Correct me if im wrong

[ChunJin]

It depends mostly on the other parts inside it. The biggest eater of battery life is wireless + screen brightness; turn it off and the lowering the brightness will increase battery life.

Keeping all things the same -- a new Intel laptop could run for about 4 hours and an AMD will be about half that time so 2 hours.

[Pogichinoy]

Intel CPUs generally utilise less battery, thus last longer.

Thanks for the info guys. I got Intel 2 Duo cuz AMD was sold out. Im glad i got the Intel

8 cores wat can i say... "dual core quad" lol
