Intel is to add its Enhanced SpeedStep Technology (EIST) to its 65nm dual-core Pentium D 950 processor in order to allow the chip to operate within design guidelines for motherboards, with a maximum power consumption of 95W rather than 130W.
A little weird. Isn't the processor TDP supposed to be independent on whether the demand based switching is turned on or off? It is certainly the case for AMD. More funny TDP numbers from Intel?
