Wbmw: No you comprehend just what you want and ignore the rest. That I prefer an older definition and acronym that is more useful than a newer one is precisely the point. And its just not me in that assessment. It includes the Intel retail package HSF designers, AMD package HSF designers, www.sandpile.org and many others. It is shown by their actions. It might not be politic to say it though. Your reaction is a case in point. Pete PS, even with the new definition, AMD could still use numbers generated by the old method as the bounds and still be perfectly alright. Heck they could "wink, wink, nod, nod" to any questioners asking that the only thing that changed was the name and not the methods used.

Re: Funny how AMD decided to use the more "slippier" one Well, after Intel had been lying about power use for a couple years, what choice did they have? If MacDonalds starts publishing specs that say their burgers have only 50 calories, what do you expect Burger King to do? It's just one more example of Intel pushing crap at its customers by misrepresenting what they sell. They fake benchmarks, cheat on power ratings, etc. They poison the information that's needed by buyers to make informed decisions.
