Mr Chin

It looks like a production sample

It sounds like an oxymoron.

What does it says about the amount of efforts

Is that a babelfish translation?

"BTW, the chip marking doesn't say "ES". It looks like a production sample. Sorry."

So? It is still a single report that might be using a higher than spec. voltage. It might be indicative of something, or it just might be an outlier. Who knows?

This is a little different than with Prescott. There were lots of rumors about Prescotts being little power hogs before it was introduced. So far this is the only report of 90nm A64s running hotter than 130nm. And even then, not by a whole lot.
