Anand power test on Yonah...
It is HIGHLY unlikely that the test Anand ran actually got either CPU even close to TDP. During idle the Yonah should be less than 1W and certainly no more than 2W, which means that during the "Load" test the Yonah was running at about 15W. Remember also that this is in a desktop type system with excellent thermals where the case temperature is going to MUCH lower than in a laptop... that is worth at least a few watts... but of course not nearly as many watts as some people seem to think
