John, I suspect the larger amount of cache(which dances together and uses lotsa current) could explain that discrepancy. The max also addresses the upgrade path.
Thanks.

John, re: "30 AMPS per microsecond!" Capacitors capable of buffering 30A per second are not customarily found in the $19 power supplies so common in today's PCs.

Consider yourself lucky that AMD didn't express this as "30,000,000 amperes-per-second (/usec)". Nicola Tesla might have risen from his grave!
