That's Bulldozer. Read the anandtech article, that explains why Piledriver won't use as much power as Bulldozer does.
(All the more proof people here don't read articles for anything technical, just look at the pwetty colours in graphs)
TDP != Power consumption.
Not to mention, both CPUs aren't likely to be pegged at 100% unless you're doing some gaming or the like, and price matters too.
That's true, but AMD has gained a lot of marketshare from Intel so far considering what they had before..
And honestly, games will always evolve and beat the IGPs out. They'll never be at 60fps at 720p on new releases.
Weird, that seems pretty far out of whack...More than you'd expect for a simple margin of error.

Last quarter the one that everybody is screaming about AMD gained less then 1% marketshare away from Intel. Intel still holds over 80% of the market. Trinity will have to massively outsell Llanno to make a real dent in Intel's domination of the mobile market.
As far as IGP performance if they cannot evolve to the point where they can hold 60 @ 720p with at least med/low settings I will continue to not really be interested. 720p at low settings is not a high bar and right now the IQ these chips are spitting out looks to be worse then what 7 year old consoles are doing with sameish framerates.
Unlike you though I do believe that probabally within the next iteration we'll start seeing chips from both that are able to hit that (bare minimum IMO) standard. At least I hope so.
