What assumptions do you think I'm making?

We know clocks of both lineups, we know (from AMD) that the IPC of the K10 core is roughly that of 65nm C2D core, we know about AMD bandwidth advantages in multi-socket systems...

Of course Intel parts are going to require increased power with higher frequency. My point was to notice the very large power bin jump required for a very small frequency increase in the K10.
