that's not what i was asking for nor what is discussed in this topic.
Early morning for you there?
Ignore the AMD CPU. it doesnt matter and its just some poor excuse on your part. Now tell me instead. How are those 4 Intel CPUs vs their TDP?

I also said :"not to say that 45nm 65W consumes 65W though" which means intel's 45nm parts usually use less power than rated,which is also known for a while.Hence i said the rating on the box is for "cooling reference".
So please tell me what was wrong or incorrect in my post.And please don't skip an answer or just say "Ehmm no" when you are cornered,you do this "Hit&run" too many times it is not even funny.
The same applies for 65nm CPUs. Try read the link I gave. 115W for a 125W AMD CPU, 50W tops for a 65W Intel CPU. It doesnt take much math skills to see who is closest to their max TDP value. Both in raw W and in percentage.
