PT, Re: It would be interesting to see how these values compare with AMD's current mobile offerings.
It's about 50% higher (31W for 1.0 GHz Athlon 4 IIRC) if you compare it clock-to-clock without any battery saving measures like PowerNow! enabled. Unfortunately I couldn't find the exact numbers in any techdocs from AMD, they are only mentioned in a small presentation for the Athlon 4 launch.
It would also be interesting to know the power requirement of the other significant notebook components.
You might want to check out this data:
tecchannel.de
Component Power consumption in Watts
Mobile PIII 600 LV 0,8 Chipsatz 440MX 0,65 SDRAM 64 MByte 0,1 Grafikchip 0,5 I/O-Subsystem 0,1 Audio 0,4 Festplatte 0,65 DVD-ROM-Laufwerk 2,51 CardBus-Controller 0,2 Display 2,8 Netzteil 0,72 Diverses 1 Gesamt 10,43
It's from Intel and represents a typical Intel PIII LV notebook playing a DVD.
