Yeah, Intel and AMD are allowed liberties on their high end when it comes to power consumption. Except QuadFX, 230 watts just for the processors is not excusable.

6400+ and enthusiasts just aren't going to mix as well as AMD hoped. Enthusiasts like to overclock. The 6400+ is the processor with the lowest overclockability.
