Unscientific studies bother me; for what purpose does simplifying complicated concepts do? It won't make people realize they don't need to exaggerate PSU wattage and continue to ignorantly treat TDP as power consumption. About the only useful information is the chart of what voltages were needed for which frequency, gives an indication of ranges and the climb. But most people don't apply formulas and analyze results.
BTW, I'm not about to jump up and down for not even a 1GHz increase from 4GHz, it is like everyone is easily pacified and forgot that we used to see 50-60% average increases before Sandy Bridge. Why do so many apologize for Intel?
