Also even the latest version of the 965 ( which runs at a much lower wattage) uses 125w.
he was implying that 140W would suck if the 6 core CPU's needed it. they wont, like the previous gen the topmost models will be of higher wattage than the lower ones. at least it gives us OC'ing room.


What i was saying (and you filled the blanks) is that the previous high of 125W moving to 140W, is hardly a bad thing - 15W for 50% more cores? awesome!
