Intel's first Nehalem draws 130W even at 2.6GHz and 45nm
One million dollars question is how much it consumes in 65nm? Seems that new Quicksuck TM bus interface itself consumes err. sucks a lot of power. Isn't it? Only now we can completely understand the real nature AMD's 65nm quad core troubles. Considering Intel, it is now obvious that it is inherently unable to effectively clock NehLEM over 3 Ghz, so consequently we will see yet another ME2 sequel, copying all what AMD has previously done, and deliberately lowering clock of new processors to stay in TDP power envelope and business generally. Interestingly, about the same time AMD will be ready at the market with its new 45nm quad cores.
