This is simply not true. Both AMD and Intel have technologies that scale the CPU down while idle. Please look up AMD's Cool'n Quiet and Intel's Speedstep technologies. There are some power differences with the new architecture. Some of the cache was changed to a different design that uses less power but takes up more space. Also each core can now be clocked independently to reduce power draw of idle cores. This is an improvement on speedstep, something that AMD's barcelona chips already do. This entire article is nothing but marketing spin and leaves out any actual details. “Historically, chips remained fully powered during the idle stage in order to catch any instructions thrown their way—not anymore.”

They need energy efficiency, so that the platform can grow to require more when speeds increase, because they want to use it in notebooks and because they want more and more cores in a single chip. So yes, it's great that it's more energy efficient, but don't believe the green nonsense, that's not their real motivation, that's just a sales pitch. Marketing rhetoric.
