I like this bit

Instead of providing power numbers based on the generally used "thermal design power" (TDP) rating, the company provides power consumption performance specifications for Barcelona based on ACP (Average CPU Power), a rating that AMD also introduced today. Rather than specifying the worst case scenario, the company told us that it is trying to provide a real world indication, how much power these CPUs will consume. While the HE versions of Barcelona have a TDP of 65W, AMD says that these processors will not consume more than 55W (ACP); the standard versions carry a TDP of 95W, but should not use more than 75W in real-world applications, AMD says.

Uhu. That is until we get hold of them. We'll stick it to the TDP rating and keep it there. LOL
