IMO the system idle power was the worst part for Sandy bridge. Of course there can be any number of good reasons for that and it might improve over time, but the current measurements by Anand are not looking too good.
Throughput/watt under full load is better. i7 980x consumes approx 33% more power than i7 2600k at similar throughput. This is even more impressive since Sandy bridge has only 2/3 the number of cores and hence should have less variation in performance across workloads of varying TLP.
