combjelly Re..As Van notes, the power consumption figures aren't all that impressive. An A4 is about the same speed and power consumption, albeit with a slower FSB and smaller L2. Now if I am not mistaken, the heatsink used on the pictured Banias on Van's site is a plastic one. An Athlon mobile XP may be faster and have the same power consumption. a Barton derivative will have close to the same total cache size, so the cache size won't make that much difference. <<<<<<<<<

Thanks. That is along the lines I was thinking, without having your knowledge to explain why. By the way, I have never heard of plastic having good thermal conductivity like copper or aluminum. Why would Intel use a plastic heat sink? Surely Intel should be able to afford aluminum, if not copper.
