The datasheet gives 85W typical and 101W max, however, as the 3,06 uses 1,525V instead of 1,500V (according to the datasheet), the max power is actually higher than 101W for the 3,06 Ghz, despite the prescribed adaptive voltage regulation.

The article is incorrect. While I haven't looked at the new datasheet since yesterday, I believe it is the same Vcc as the P4 which is not 1.525V but 1.425V. You are quoting the VTT number, not the VCC number. If you have a Intel reference to a Vcc greater then 1.425V then show us. Also max Icc is 65.4A so Max power is 93.195 Watts, not the 101W claimed.

[Edit: I just looked at the new Xeon datasheet and the Vcc has risen to 1.467V. Icc_max is now 69.1 giving the 101W posted, which was correct]
