    I read their i7 Power Plays article.The article is quite an eye opener since they concluded that total chip power draw is near 204W(that's including uncore part).205W-210 for a stock 965EE with turned-off over-current protection is a lot,and there needs to be a change how review sites measure power draw from now on,since methods used up until now can't be applied to core i7 anymore since "the entire Uncore is uncoupled from the CPU’s main power supply coming in through the auxiliary 12V rail".
