Actually just looked at the ps3 specs, the original models draw anything from 150-200 watts.
Ps3 slim is 34% less.

Pitcairn pro runs ultra cool, even overclocked to 1160Mhz this one stays below 60c without the fans really spinning up, it also uses similar amounts of power to the RSX which is clocked higher than its PC equivalent the 7800GTX, quite honestly I wouldn't be surprised if we had a higher clock speed here too as the HD7850 is ultra efficient..It matches GTX 580, etc speeds while only using 122w with a factory OC, considering the PS3 launched with a 380w PSU they could easily fit a 4Ghz Trinity APU and 1Ghz Pitcairn Pro GPU on there with appropriate power circuitry.
