It does not surprise me that news of Intel's wasted power comes to light, they have been playing the TDP game for while now (in relation to monitors, Intel's TDP is like judging a monitor based on gray to gray response times).

Which explains why they pushed for 200w tdp from mobo manufacturers and if I heard correctly, certain i7 boards have two CPU power connectors? Seems unreasonable for a chip that supposedly has a 130W TDP....
