I can see these numbers.
But then we have numerous reports on temperatures which do not correlate to these numbers. Ok, I dont believe any temperature readouts from monitoring tools anyway.
But then we have a lot of reports that the heatsink of Opterons only get handwarm. Ok, most of them from lower clocked CPUs.
Back to these numbers. Maximum numbers, ok. But not very far from the upper edge of Thermal envelope, it seems.

In essence, it looks like benefits from SoI are not at all low hanging fruits. Which is not exactly surprising - IBM went through all this couple of years ago already.
