Intel Corp (INTC)

[chipguy]

There is nothing in the Opteron Tech Doc about "common software". That's bogus. You guys
would rip someone apart if they used a definition from the doc of a completely unrelated part it if had
anything to do with Intel.

You raise an interesting point. AMD was disingenuous in spec'ing a maximum power for
Athlon but at least the naughty details were in the fine print. But with Opteron you can drive
a truck through the gaps in the power specs. There isn't even separate max power values
for the 1.4, 1.6, and 1.8 GHz parts. Why is AMD being so evasive about Opteron power?
