This was the opposite for Bloomfield i7 9xx series where linx was ~10% more power consuming than prime95. Could be linx isn't properly utilising all 6C12T of the i7 980X yet ?
Yes, that is very possible, we've been observing such things for a while now (check LinX thread).
I'm not sure I want to go back to 8 hour Prime requirements, though...
