Elmer Re <<You already admitted you weren't sure and now you're an expert! >> I was not sure how it is determined by manufacturers like AMD or Intel. But for a complex IC it is not simply by multiplying the peak current by core voltage. DO YOU ACTUALLY DISPUTE THIS???? I think it is done experimentally while running the CPU. Max is when CPU is going fully such as when solving an FEA problem. If you do dispute this go and look at Intels specs. Or look it up in a book. I can recommand few good ones. You will see that you are wrong. Elmer, you would have totally saved your face if you had just admitted your mistake and had moved on. Mani

Elmer, I usually don't bother replying to your posts on the following principle: If your opponent is making a fool of himself then move out of the way. But now that you are embarrassing my former employer I must defend Intel's honor. I thought that your day job is EE. Now I am starting to think that you may be a custodian, a conference room scheduler or a security guard. How else can one explain your unshaken belief that a 1.6 V CPU with a peak current of 42 amperes must dissipate 67.2 watts (1.6 * 42 = 67.2). Can you point to any data sheet where the Elmer/Engel law of max power dissipation holds? Kap
