"AMD should be utterly embarrassed to release a high-end desktop system which consumes 400W at idle in this day and age."

Think of it as their equivalent of the P4.

It is a niche product. More importantly, it is about the only niche where power consumption is a non-issue. 1kw power supplies have been around for ages.

If there is any interest at all, then power consumption will be the very first issue addressed.
