That's as bad as Prescott. Heat consumption won't scale linearly with 90nm...once us oc'ers get our hands on it and try to oc to 3GHz and beyond...at some point temps will skyrocket.
I understand why AMD wants to disable x86-64 on their "Value" line but I don't think that's very smart. Average joe six-pack is going to buy a value processor anyway instead of a Winchester or San Diego. When faced with a Celeron with x86-64 and an AMD value cpu what will he choose?
Most interesting, however, is the small footnote below the roadmap which claims the FX-55 and Athlon 64 >4000+ (presumably 4200+) will require 104 watts/80 amps.
