It's a real testament to AMDs process improvements that they lowered the TDP that much. Those are still 90nm chips. I can imagine that by next year 3GHz Phenoms will be using 68W.

The Opterons have been blessed by the Oracle of Apollo
And the Athlons have been forged in the fires of Hell itself

Three CPUs for the 7/11 under the sky,
Seven for the CPU Engineers in their halls of stone(CPU Fab),
Nine for Mortal Men doomed to die(For Breaking NDA),
One for the Dark Lord(Dr. Héctor Ruiz) on his dark throne
In the Land of America where the Shadows lie.
One CPU to rule them all, One CPU to find them,
One CPU to bring them all and in the darkness bind them
In the Land of America where the (Barcelonas) lie
