Just because the W calculater says a CPU is generating a certain value doesn't make it so...

I still don't trust those calculators for a simple reason: If you change the multiplier of an AMD CPU to make it run at a higher speed without changing the FSB or voltage, then it IS effectively that higher speed CPU. But the calculators predict that it would actually generate more watts. Unless they've changed in the last few months anyway...
