Oh, so your magical ball looked into the problem and found the answer? Well thanks for sharing, might want to drop a ring to AMD's driver department! Unless you did some extensive testing to prove that it is indeed the drivers and not the chipset, you're just as right / wrong as mussels...

BTW correct me if I'm wrong but AMD measured their TDP differently from Intel, right? AMD were measuring the average, while intel was just showing the peak. If memory serves me right then AMD's 115W equals Intel's 130W chips.

No, it's basic logic. Since the 5k series doesn't have the issue, it is clearly something that ATI was able to solve.
