AMD strictly moderated (AMD)

140 watts for a quad-core device is high?

It is for a 65 nm device. Perhaps AMD will try to ship a
few novelty 90 nm quad core devices.

What do you expect a quad-core IPF device to be at?

Either the same 100W as for Montecito or the 130W IPF
historic family limit. There was talk of relaxing power
limits to above 130W to better compete with POWERx
but that IMO that doesn't seem to be in keeping with
the current Intel corporate mantra of performance/power.
