Oh, and GoThr3k, thanks for quoting my comment on 3GHz C2D Penryn chips.
Based on preliminary wattage info here, a Penryn Quad at 3GHz consumes an actual 73W at load (even though TDP is listed as 125W IIRC):

72.98W on the QX9650 at full load is almost 1/2 the wattage we saw on the 65nm Quads.
That would put an UNBINNED DUAL CORE at 38.5W at full load.
25W at 3GHz for a DUAL CORE based on Penryn, with proper binning, is WELL WITHIN the possibilities for Intel's 45nm HMGK process.
Now, how dumb do you look and feel?
