    How many watts of power are drawn by the AMD Radeon 6630M? Wikipedia and AMD's own website are tight-lipped. Thanks in advance. ;)

    Yeah, the 6630M should be similar to the 5650M, but I read somewhere that the HD 5650M is underclocked to draw less power. I'm not sure of the source though.

    6630M is pretty low clocked and the newer turks based cores are actually more power efficient, so it's likely a bit less.

    the 6630m is in for the niche of the underclocked 5650m, so its got to be close to 10w
