Dualcore SB parts are also classified as 35W, and beat the 25W amd part... I think by now it would be clear how amd and intel classified there TDP, that is determined by SKU and not actual consumption.
Also I like how everyone blames ivybrdige for the bad power cosumption, when its actually the platform (the asus N56V). Someone tested actual power consumption without monitor:

While under worse case gaming scenario (furmark) the HD4000 consumes more then the APU on the A10, in actual games they are somewhat comparable and not much worse then the HD3000. The APU still takes the crown in fps delivered, but no one disputed or was even surprised by that.
Also why are we again focusing only on gaming with battery? I don't see whats the point of that, even the A10 can barely get more then 1:30 out under load... What really counts is reading/surfing/light office work/dvd/streaming. And trinity did a good job there catching up with the intel based books and even beating them depending on what configuration they run.
