It uses aprox 15% less power than the previous slim version and 60% less power than a launch PS3. The 9W standby power is the same however.

Its also the likely reason for the hardware shortages as they were slow to ramp up production of the replacement model and had deliberately bled down their stockpiles of consoles.

Nice info, do you have any idea why they still use a 250W power supply for the slim even though it doesn't even need half that much energy.

where did you get to know what PS3 SLIM with RSX 40nm is still using 250W power supply,i tried to find it in the Pocket news article but couldn't,might have ovelooked it.
