benchtest.com said:Pentium 4 NOTE: The maximum wattage for the P4 will probably never be reached. The P4 uses a Thermal Control Circuit (TCC) which has a speed throttling feature that may be set to "automatic" or "on demand" through the system BIOS. In "automatic" mode, the processor's clock speed is reduced by enabling a duty cycle (50% on - 50% off) when the core temperature approaches the pre-set thermal limit. In "on demand" mode, the duty cycle can be programmed from 12.5% on/ 87.5% off, to 87.5% on/12.5% off in 12.5% increments. In addition to throttling the processor's speed, in the event of a catastrophic cooling failure, the processor will automatically shut down when the silicon has reached a temperature of approximately 135 °C.

and here (in the middle of the page under CPU POWER by Kostik) is another program that calculates maximum cpu power usage:

if you assume a 1.6A has the same power characteristics as the 1.6ghz xeon (which it probably does at 1.5v, since they are both 0.13micron process chips)...then the max power consumption is going to be around 100-130 watts...that's per CPU
