Paul, article with nothing really new but it does tie our power crisis to CPU chip consumption. Only the first part about Intel:

Hamster powered computing

Enter Intel, which this week introduced a family of very low power consuming chips. One of these mobile Pentium III microprocessors consumes just half a watt of power, compare that to Intel's latest Pentium 4 which is a toaster, consuming about 60 watts. As one wag pointed out, you could run the latest mobile Pentium III with a hamster in a treadmill. Intel is targeting the light and thin notebook computer market where rival Transmeta has won a lot of attention for its low powered chips.

AMDroids get mad when you say this:

Yes, Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) managed to wrestle away part of the market, but it's just enough to keep the monopoly investigators away from Intel.

And this can't be true either:

With Intel's aggressive price cuts and with plenty of manufacturing capacity coming online, AMD will have to scramble to build that share.
