Andreas: So it looks like the mobile Athlon 4 is quite competitive with the new Pentium III-M regarding power consumption.

With the superior (although not as much as it used to be!) power management of the A4, yes, you are probably correct. However, I would wager a pretty penny that (both) the chipset(s) available to AMD in a mobile setting use considerably more power than Intel's new mobile chipset (or even its old one).

DDR-SDRAM would help AMD, but it doesn't appear ready for mobiles yet. I wonder why? (packaging, maybe?)
