It's certainly not for 130nm, as it only kicks in at 4200+ and above.
There is a question as to whether it is up-to-date, as the 104W number was floated about 6 months ago, and since then, we've had the Ace's interview, wherein someone claimed TDP would be roughly 89W again, at 90nm.
Other possibilities include:
- It will run hotter at higher speeds.
- This is to allow for better bins, even if most parts will dissipate less.
- It is a "family" TDP, so what's the upper speed limit that this applies to? (And perhaps the Ace's number (89W) is for 90nm parts up through 4000+ ? )
- Room for dual core TDPs?
- Bogus / out-of-date information
