Joe - RE: "I am a little confused about this: Why would you need 2MB on die cache in a mobile processor? Or is it just that Mustang will have a lot lower power consumption compared to Athlon/Thunderbird, suitable for mobile applications as well as desktop."

The article is wrong. As you said, what's the point of 2MB cache in a mobile part? AMD roadmaps on the web have said Mustang will come out in two versions initially - one with large on-chip cache intended for the workstation and server market, and one smaller version with lower power requirements and on-chip cache intended for the mobile market.
