Ok so I have received a ton PM's on these this morning. So I am going to post this here.
As far as we know these are the same exact type of diode the A140 projector has but possibly a higher bin than we have seen before.
As with the A140 projectors there are variations from diode to diode but on average they were 10-15% better than the A130's and we are starting THINK that the M140 diodes on average are showing another increase over the A140's.
I won't go out there and say that every M140 diode will get you to 2W because there is not enough data to say either way. Only time will tell.
There is also a question that these may be the new 1.7W 445 diode but that is a big question. I will say that one thing I have noticed is that the lines in the raw output are less definable as the bar output seems more solid than the A140's. I will post some pictures of what I mean later.
I am certainly not saying these can be driven with any currents higher than what is recommended currently on the A140 diodes. I am not responsible if you kill your diode trying to put 2A+ in it.

I think he's saying that if he bumps the current up over 2A he will hit 2.6W easily?
