Wily,

Are you saying that the Athlon could become less power hungry?

In the future - Yes. See Kash's contemplation on this -

I'm not sure which core (spitfire, T_bird, Mustang) is going to be targeted for Mobile market. I have to check ACES hardware article on that.

Seems like this is an issue for SMP also, as present power supplies sometimes aren't even up to supporting 1 Athlon.

The servers are usually designed with robust power supplies anyway - so, it shouldn't be a problem. It's just that DIY users have to be careful in selecting an adequate power supply when they start playing with dual Athlon boards when they become available.
