Do computers today use more power (cost more to run) than computers did 5+ years ago?

Oct 19, 2009 by Kent Houseman | Posted in Desktops

My roommate and I have gaming rigs and one believes computers use very little power and the other thinks they do, especially gaming rigs. We leave ours on 24/7.

Any websites with documentation would be great.
