Re: And they are still different. AMD maintains its TDP as an absolute upper bound of thermal output (and energy input) while Intel doesn't guarantee its TDP won't be exceeded, thus not an absolute upper bound at all, just one which is not exceeded most of the time.

Amazing that you can stick to this belief, even though AMD's own definition of TDP implies that their TDP can be exceeded under two specific conditions. Don't play dumb, Pete, I've already pointed this out to you twice.

--> Read the specs.

TDP. Thermal Design Power. The thermal
design power is the maximum power a processor can
draw [1] for a thermally significant period while [2] running
commercially useful software. The constraining conditions
for TDP are specified in the notes in the thermal and power
tables.
