Can you think of any reason why AMD would exaggerate this maximum power figure?

Of course, can't you?


Sorry I couldn't hear you over the crinkling noise from your aluminum foil hat.

I can easy. They dream that one day they will make a 3 Ghz Opteron. By their estimates it will draw 85W, so they put this number there. There is a chance that AMD will go out of business before Opteron will reach even 60 W. So you can treat this number as, actually, very optimistic.
