Dan, Re: "Yet another way to look at it is that, even though the bus driver transistors individually use much more power than the core transistors, the number of core transistors that must be powered is 4 orders of magnitude greater."

But my main argument is about heat density. Your point is most valid on an individual basis, but Hammer will be cramming all its powerful logic into a 104mm^2 die, and all 700+ pins will be routed in a package smaller than the socket A. Both routing and power will be concerns of the first generation builders, to be sure.
