Intel are the kings of fake-o-watts with their TDP nonsense which bears no relation to the electrical power which you used to point out vehemently at the time you was an AMD investor but conveniently gloss over now. The biggest example of that is Montecito with a 100W TDP but a 175W electrical power rating lol.

Let's look at the cpu power then. Intel has 8 Fb-Dimms which means a 40W power handicap yet according to the 75W-50W power differences between the cpus this should be offset by 50W disadvantage by AMD's cpus. The reality though is that rather than burn 10W more system wise it burns 5W less which shows that the Fake-o-Watts are still coming from Intel.
