This is all based on the supposition that the 1.5 GHz Madison is rated at 1.3 V and 130 W.



All we have is a public statement from Intel that Madison would fit inside the 130 W TDP

envelope of McKinley. We know that future versions of Madison will clock faster and have

larger L3 cache so this is a poor assumption IMO. BTW, this reminds me of the Opteron

power debate.
