Yes if it was dual-core it would be as you stated. BUt that's different to what I worked out.

You don't need 1.6V for 3.3GHz on X2 5000 BE+. At 24A per core, many are getting 3.3GHz stock volts, I had mine at 3360MHz stock volts stable, which is 1.35V. If it's dual chips on one die they would both run the same at the same TDP. Like Kentsfield, the TDP is just double (65W x 2 = 130) for the MCM.
I know. Just want to add dual core k8/k10 values. The TDP calculations I made where for an theoretical overclocked dual core k10.
Looking at the dual core values I can understand why they focus on lower power consumption first, as the BE-2400 has a 45W TDP vs. the approximated 70W a dual-core K10 whould require atm.
