Re: "See table 14.9 in "AMD Athlon Processor Data Sheet, Nov. 1999" at amd.com;

Once again one must scratch their head and wonder how AMD comes up with their power numbers. Quoting from the spec you reference:

14.10: table 27:
Max Icc = 28.2 Amps. Footnote 7 says "measured at max icc_core = 1.70v-The maximum power supply must be taken into account when designing a power supply"

So using Ohms law, 28.2A*1.7V= 47.94 or 48 Watts yet AMD claims only 43 Watts @1.6v in their power dissipation section.

Maybe it was the same guy who came up with the Intel Performance benchmarks posted on AMD's website.
