I guess the "power consumption" depends on how you measure it. SOmeone used a temp probe and some elementary physics to get a pretty decent number

There are a whole lot of results out there now, and eve if it's not i7 killers they've released I'd say AMD did an A-W-E-S-O-M-E job - these chips are HUGE improvements over Agena, and that's the only fair comparison. The fact that they can compete with Intel quads is also a good sign.

I don't really see why Anandtech's conclusion should be so important, either. it seems obvious to me that that's just some Intel fan's opinion. "If Intel chooses to do this and that"... well, that's not the case TODAY, so its' a useless comment. The fact is that the Deneb platform gives you alot of performance for your $$$.
