I didn't think my english was that bad :) I will reformulate my question.

"Is the Ahtlon 64 expected to work at 2200 MHz with 35 or 62W?"

And the answer is in the link you provided:

The answer is no. 35 and 62W are "the power you have to design the cooling
solution to dissipate". As a processor with Cool and Quiet shouldn't work at
full speed all the time, the cooling solution doesn't have to be adapted to
maximum wattage.

OTOH, if Cool and Quiet is not enabled, the temperature is hot and you do
heavy processing...

Exactly. That's what Paul explained in my preceeding thread:

"So, to make processors with different wattages, you can sort through
all the chips, and take the ones with low power consumption, and
make those your "low power" devices."

Thanks for your link. It answered my last question.
