Lets look at what they are claiming. AMD says if you add up the TDP of all the parts of the system, AMD is a lot better than any Netburst CPU. They also claim leadership over Woodcrest systems with the 'add the TDPs' measurement.
To make matters more confusing, both companies measure TDP in a different way, oh joy. AMD measures it as the maximum power that a CPU can possibly draw while Intel calls TDP the maximum you are likely to see sustained. One Intel TDP ~= .85 AMD TDP. To correct for this, AMD bumps up the Intel numbers to max draw.
