Parts distribution based on power is what drives the TDP. If 95% of the parts would be under 7w then they would set that as TDP. The fact that they choose 9w it means most of the parts are closer to 9 than to any other arbitrary figure you've chosen ( the next range at 5w is for a single core no GPU device , hardly relevant ).

The first two sentences is just plain irrelevant, you don't have to tell me those things. And they don't choose 9W because it's closest only, they choose 9W because it's the closest upwards.

So if AMD have a new bobcat based SOC that isn't listed above, with all parts between 10W and 11.5W. What TDP do you think they would give that product?
