AMD Shows Deneb (Phenom II) pictures of 6.2GHz CPUz etc

They didnt measure anything. They took max values and made a dumb conclusion from that. Its abit like saying a 230V/10A outlet always pumps out 2300W nomatter what you plug in.

indeed, they even mention in there articel themself, that intel said no commercial available software is able to utilize all parts of the cpu at once, so that 210W figure is just a (fictive) worse case.

It would be the same if they would use the AMD Max power specs.
I/O is rated at ~7W, NB somewhere around 23W and the highest IDDmax i have seen is 106A, but amd reated every TDP segemt on its own, intel on the other hand only lists the max possible for the whole family.

So if you take the worse cases:
30W uncore part
106A*1,25V=132.5W
--------------------------
162.5W at a max frequency of 2.6ghz

add a higher frequency and amd would be in the same range as intel.... worse case figures are useless.
