Intel, which next week is expected to announce plans to move to a new processor architecture, is switching to a new yardstick to measure processor performance: performance per watt. Intel's announcement will publicly signal an internal shift that's already taken place. After years of promoting clock speed, it's now emphasizing overall performance and power-efficiency.

""But junction T is not related with TDP (P-M TDP is very lower than Athlon64 ones, 21-27W against 60-110W, Google for it)"
TDP is just as useless."
???
If phisic hadn't been entirely rewritten, TDP is THE measure of how difficult to cool since it is the Termal Dissipated Power, / it for the area that dissipate that power and obtain the cooling density (W/mm^2) you need to don't get the chip boil.
P-M machines have ridicously small dissipators if compared with Athlon, Opteron and Netburst family chips, some of them (and almost the LV and ULV lines) can also been cooled fanless (as i do with my P-M).
