Re: many of the guys on SI have serious problems understanding the subject of TDP. pgerassi for example tried to convince everyone that X2´s power consumption would be lower than Yonahs, and that this 89W part would be suitable for t&l notebooks, but Yonah somehow wouldn´t be. Many others like Petz actually agreed with him, no matter whatever evidence to the contrary and logic I brought up, no matter how idiotic pete´s points got. Incredible.
How does Pete explain the measurements at Anandtech? Does he still believe his theories when the system power consumption tests using Yonah dissipate 36W lower power under load than the lowest power X2 - especially when Anand says that Yonah was run with a desktop powered chipset (945G)? You can almost subtract another 10-15W just by switching the Yonah system to use a mobile optimized northbridge. Pete will have to do some incredible dancing to push his theories in light of this. But I'm sure he'll try.
P.S. were you accused of FUD when you brought up your logic and evidence? I think that's the tragic part of trying to explain things to these guys.
