I'm running a 2.8Ghz/533Mhz Intel P4. Intel's specs state that it puts out 68.4W@1.525V. It'll hit 3.12Ghz@1.525V, but even going up higher shouldn't go much over ~100W. We'll see.
I just wish there was a good way of determining how much wattage a CPU puts out, while it's actually running. Maybe Intel, or a motherboard maker, can come up with some kind of built-in monitoring device that would show you the amperage your CPU was consuming. Oh, well, enough pipe dreams...
