Benchmark: Video Card Power Consumption

[Federico Lucifredi]

Hello Computing Performance,
A group in France has done a hands-on measurement of the real power
consumption of 73 different video cards:

probably better than a Moore's Law rate... some benchmarks are twice
as good after you upgrade your OS... substantially facilitated by the
armhf kernel...

see http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=ubuntu_1204_omap4460

we are going to try and recreate these benchmarks with attached power
meter on the older Pandas (with the 4430 OMAP) to see if we get
non-linear performance improvements there as well.
