Re: Woodcrest not really low power

Perhaps more importantly, there's only a 12 W difference between a single and dual Woodcrest config at idle. That CPU just isn't drawing much power at all. Under load, the difference is 59 W—much less than the 80 W TDP of the 3GHz Woodcrest, and under the 65 W target for the lower-speed Woodcrest processors.
