Re: they didn't measure CPU + northbridge. They measured system consumption. Petz already explained there are other factors-- inefficiencies in power supply, TURBOJET fan requirements on Prescott, etc.
You still don't get it. The end result was 68 additional watts of power from the Prescott system, which does not match conventional wisdom, no matter how you try to spin it. You haven't even thought about the data or how it fits into the big puzzle; you simply believe it on faith because it fits your point of view. When you actually add up the power supply inefficiencies, processor fans, extra chipset parts, and of course the difference in processor power, it only points to one thing - the data is wrong.
