Constantine, Gary actually copied that post from another forum. The point was to show how others feel in regards to Intel's lower power Tualatin chips. The Tualatin specification shows that they dissipate much less power than the Athlon equivalent. While you might be seeing different results on your motherboard, remember that those motherboard measurements are crude at best, and always tend to miss the hottest spot on the chip. Tualatin is a very optimized design on a brand new process, so it will naturally be a very good CPU for those that are power conscious. Apparently, some buyers feel that lower power is an important feature, and that is why they are willing to spend the extra premium.
