wbmw - re: "I've always wondered why AMD purposely makes their CPUs less competitive by giving them thermal design points that are so high above measured values."

Because they want their partners to have as few surprises as possible. This way they know they can design their MBs et al, for a given power consumption and generally be safe throughout the life of the given AMD product line.
