Still my statement is true. Whether you are comparing large or small die indivdually the comparison is true for that particular configuration(assuming it's good data). All blocks on one particular die will establish a accurate range of values. Change the setup(die) and you change the values.
My point is you need relative data points for reference(How does it fit in multiple applications? What is the noise level compared to performance? etc.). one Data point on one die @ a single wattage when comparing dff. cooling solutions is a bit inadequate.

There is no point at all in using a 1" die sim. There is no CPU on the market that is comparable to it. If your going to use a die sim at least use one that is in the mid range of all die sizes. Take the largest and the smallest and build the die size in the middle. Then the results should be somewhat comparable to a similarly wattaged system. I can understand the reasoning to doing die sim tests and system based tests but not a 3rd with a completely out of whack die size. Just makes things more complicated and confusing. Maybe thats is his goal though....
