wbmw, re:
<Intel will be 36W lower power in the CPUs (2 * 18W).
<Any config that uses 4 FB-DIMMs or less will be lower power than AMD's system.

It's not just the FBDIMM penalty, your northbridge more than tips the scales in AMD's favor. The northbridge also has the problem that it can't go to low power mode unless neither CPU is accessing memory.

And you conveniently forgot that AMD and Intel TDP specs are not created equal.
