The watsonyouth,

re:"AMD power consumption"

I suspect that the 0.18 micron parts will run up to 900Mhz from AMD using Al.

With dresden and cu process AMD has optimized the transisitors even further and also reduced RC paths by using copper allowing lower power.

My best guess for dresden/cu/new0.18 process will max out at maybe 1.2Ghz keeping power down rapidly.

Remember AMD AThlons currently use external Cache rams qhich are very power hungry - once they go on chip power gets reduced as well.

regards,

Kash
