Hello everyone i want to verify the wattage on this new cpu that amd revieled and a couple of sites are posting it at 140 watt some are postin 125 watt i want to know which is really correct or did they make 2 different models with different wattages

HDZ970FBGMBOX Newegg.com - AMD Phenom II X4 970 Black Edition Deneb 3.5GHz 4 x 512KB L2 Cache 6MB L3 Cache Socket AM3 125W Quad-Core Desktop Processor HDZ970FBGMBOX
