Intel's six-core processor has a thermal design power as low as 65W.

According to the latest news, Intel's Dunnington Xeon processor, despite having six cores, has quite well-controlled power consumption with a Thermal Design Power (TDP) as low as 65W, averaging out to just over 10W per core. The Dunnington will be the final piece of the Core microarchitecture design, after which Intel will shift towards Nehalem. Since the introduction of the Core 2 Duo that revitalized Intel's momentum, new Core architecture products have been released frequently, and the six-core Dunnington once again demonstrates its excellent scalability. There are three known Dunnington Xeon processors, each with different TDP designs: the high-end Extreme Edition X7470 has a frequency of 2.66GHz, 16MB of L3 cache, and a TDP rated at 130W. Considering that the TDP for the quad-core Harpertown Xeon can reach up to 150W, while the Dunnington adds two more cores, 9MB of L2 cache, and 16MB of L3 cache, its TDP is actually lower in comparison...
