Another context, same paradigm: "So one important metric for us is performance per watt per dollar."

I agree there is plenty of room for defining "performance" and "wattage". I am not sure i understand what you mean by "wall wattage". Could you elaborate on it?

Re: You forget that Intel numbers are the average numbers not maximum. When Intel says 50W it doesn't 50 is the max.

Gee, I guess that explains how AMD processors with the same 65W TDP rating as Intel end up dissipating not less, but MORE power under load.

65nm Intel Core 2 Duo E6700 @ 65W - 195.7 system watts
65nm AMD Athlon 64 X2 5600+ @ 65W - 206.4 system watts

Any other myths you would like to perpetuate?
