Isn't a peak power draw of 180W to be expected since Intel's Turbo Boost is allowed to increase power consumption beyond the TDP until it hits a temperature limit? That doesn't mean it will draw 180W for any extended periods of time.
Ivy Bridge will be 22nm, but Sandy Bridge E won't be, right? I am getting confused here, so please correct me if I am wrong, but Sandy Bridge E is not Ivy Bridge, and is not 22nm. Why do you keep mentioning 22nm and tri-gate?Im willing to bet that a 6 core 22nm wont be over 95watt nevermind 180

i'm aware of that, but that still has no bearing on the topic that i can see.
We are talking about the rumored tdp and "burst / peak tdp" of sandy bridge e, and all skus mentioned are sandy bridge e, all 32nm parts. Nobody, but you, is mentioning ivy bridge, 22nm, or tri-gate. For some reason, you keep on talking about it, especially in relation to the tdp. Why? We are not talking about ivy bridge. We are talking about the high-end 32nm parts, not the 22nm shrink.
450W video cards... 180W CPU's... and they call this progress?
This reminds me of American cars in the 70's.
And? The rumor (the linked article) was very specific - Sandy Bridge E, and even mentioned the supposed SKUs - all 32nm.because the high end 2011 parts will be 8-10 core ivy bridges

There is no Ivy Bridge rumor here. All the TDP talk, 130 - 180, is about Sandy Bridge E and 32nm. This has no relation to Ivy Bridge, and it makes no sense for you to bring it up when people are talking about the plausibility / implausibility of the supposed TDP regarding 32nm SKUs mentioned that are Sandy Bridge E.
Yes, and that is what the rumor is about - these hex-cores @32nm that will consume the most power. We have no idea what clocks and turbo are yet, atleast none that I have seen mentioned, and they are big factors to TDP.intel gives tdp to board makers for there highest power drawing chip,these will be the 6 core 32nm at launch and those will consume the most power.
22nm, not related at all. Does not affect possible TDP mentioned in the rumor. As for the 10-core Westmere, that is a MP server chip, and so is a different ball game. Server clocks can be much lower than their high-end enthusiast desktop brothers.Knowing that there next shrink will be 22nm and on the SAME socket and also knowing that there already is a 10 core 32nm chip at 130watts puts this rumor to rest.

If the upcoming Sandy Bridge E chips are clocked much higher by default (including higher turbo), then TDP can easily be 130W flat for the highest-end SKU, with possible peaks greater than that, regardless of what 22nm offering they will have.
Agree. The comparison and conclusion isn't that straightforward, though, because clocks are missing. 2600K is at 3.4 stock with 3.8 single-core turbo. If their high-end pushes stock clocks to 4GHz+, add good turbo, then add 2 more cores, it is not unimaginable to exceed 130W for a short time. Again, I'm not buying as high as 180W peak consumption in rare cases (even if just bursty), but I can see it gobbling up far far more than current SB parts. After all, their market for these processors don't care. They'll be using 700W+ high-end PSUs with highest-end air-cooling or water-cooling, it's not like they will be selling Sandy Bridge E in high volume for normal desktop users.If a 4 core 2600k with onboard gpu is 95 watt I think 6 cores can be done at 130 or so without a gpu.
No? The SKUs mentioned here are Extreme / High-End Desktop parts. There is no mention of server parts that I have seen.SB-e is a server chip
Im not worried, im sure my i7 930@ 4.2 pulls that much already.
i7 3820 is ever so slightly less expensive than a 2600K? I suppose the lack of overclocking would make it less attractive for enthusiasts. Are all of the above hex, or is the 3820 a quad?
I'm also confused by the naming scheme. I thought the "2" in 2600 meant "2nd generation", so I expected "3" to belong to Ivy Bridge, but instead they are going ahead and giving the "3" designation to high-end Sandy Bridge parts, instead of 28xx and 29xx?
