    By measureing it before the VRM. Thats also why 1 CPU looks to be out of spec.

    It's always good to read the article one quotes.

    And your point being? Its the same thing. And I´m quite sure we can assume a somewhat equal efficient VRMs. So making all numbers alittle lower would what? Change anything, not really since the point was it had LOWER TDP!

    So counting the loss in the VRM just makes it even better.

    Should be unless they changed that again but then they would upset a lot of people.

    yep and 5 days isn't exactly a huge wait but I'm sure many people would be upset if they delay it.
    Fast computers breed slow, lazy programmers
    The price of reliability is the pursuit of the utmost simplicity. It is a price which the very rich find most hard to pay.
