chew* Thuban had the same TDP as many Phenoms and they were on the same process just older Stepping so I don't see any reason why they can't make an 8 core Thuban with the same TDP on a smaller node.

Thuban had the same tdp but lost effeciency core per core to deneb if you guys all forgot about that, so you shrink it maybe increase ipc which will increase tdp somewhat.......you can do one of two things, scale clocks and be right back at same tdp or add two more cores, sacrifice scaling, that's really not an option.

An 8 core thuban would have been damn close to gulfy in multithreaded however.
