Unfortunately AMD and Intel don't use the same definition for TDP (look up AMD APC). AMD's values are more related to average power consumption during whatever they consider to be typical use. Intel's values on the other hand are more about the upper limit of power usage, "how high can it go" sort of thing. Both the average power and maximum power are useful bits of info, but it's obviously confusing and opaque for the end-user. The only reason that I can think of why AMD hasn't reverted back is because it would highlight how their processors are relatively power inefficient compared to their competitor's. http://www.amd.com/Documents/43761A_ACP_WPv7.pdf |
