Why do you show total Watts going in rather than watts going into the wb then? If you've done the correction then why not do it in the graph?

I don't believe using a large die is representative of modern CPUs at all (but we've had this discussion before). If it were a good proxy then mfgrs wouldn't be contemplating to switch to water cooling; they'd be using heatsinks with quiet fans and hovering in the mid50C range under load...
