and which program was run? superpi 32M? thats not a 'burn' condition if you ask me

edit// S&M burn,still that doesnt change the fact these arent brisbanes...

and what i meant is that there is a difference between intel TDP and AMD TDP
What did Brisbanes have to do with this?

You implied that Intel's claimed TDP of 65W were false (insinuating that they sink more power). Then Shintai provided you with real data, measured at the VRM by a respected independant lab (Xbit Labs), showing that even at the VRM the power usage is just hitting 65W at the top end, therefore the thermal sink must be below that (since power at the CPU VRM is the ceiling for the amount of power actually flowing through the CPU).

Trapped by real data you quickly try to change the subject.

Ignore the longer bars for the AMD stuff as that clearly has your panties in a knot.

Even at the 65nm node Intel has been able to stay within a 65W TDP, I see no evidence that they won't be able to do this at the 45nm node, especially given the supposed reductions in source/drain leakage from the new High-K and metal gate materials.
