Although they have same architecture, but presence of HT will make the scenario different, isn't it? Click to expand... I'm not sure I see your point, but I will say that HT actually pushes power consumption up. The i5s and i7s are not just from the same architecture, they are cut from the same wafers, the i5s just have HT and 2MB of L3 cache disabled.
