The high end part, which I still suspect will have a slightly different name, should max out at 300W full load. Prepare your power supplies folks.

that's really impressive. honestly I think idle power draw is the most important for me since my computer is in 2d like 80-90% of the time, any power saving in 2d will be huge.
