Wow. These two guys wrote some very lengthy, detailed specifications
and comments on why the Power 6 chip design differs from other chips.

Power6 is not a desktop CPU nor does it compare to desktop CPUs in the
low load desktop workloads nor in applications it is designed for and
they are made to drive, but for 65nm CPUs, it sure is electrically much
better engineering than K8, P4 or Core 2 is for absolute
Performance/MHz/TDP. It doesn't produce the most Gigaflops and
throughput between them for no reason, and all the meanwhile it stays
sub 60C on air cooling while it is a circuit designed for heavy
temperatures (plus 100C was the burn-in testing).
