Interesting article, of which more and more can be found these days.
The E8400 seems to be very popular these days (see Tweakers Pricewatch).
What i hope is that manufacturers and suppliers start adding power specs more visible so you don't have to search for them anymore...sometimes it can be hard to find them.
