Constantine, <I had never heard anyone mentioning the idle power usage as THE power usage of a cpu before.> Intel has been doing it for quite a while. I think the power usage of the CPU is stated as a result of BatteryMark tests, which simulates the usage pattern of a "typical" laptop user running office applications. Of course, if the CPU is the only component in a laptop consuming any power, then I'd pay close attention to the 2 Watt claim. Unfortunately, it isn't, or else we'd be getting battery life of over 25 hours with today's 55 watt-hour battery packs. Tenchusatsu
