Constantine, Re: "I was merely pointing out the fact that you're defending the 2 Watt claim purely because it looks good for Intel."
That's the "fact" that I'm disputing. Try to reread my previous responses. They had nothing to do with AMD, and without such a comparison, any claim is meaningless to begin with. I merely pointed out that if the processor runs at 2W when Windows is idle, and a user's idle thread in Windows gets 99% of the "processor time", then the power dissipation of the user's processor will more or less average out at 2W. There is nothing to dispute about that. I even offered my own configuration as an example. Sure enough, when I do simple tasks like Internet, E-Mail, office apps, etc, my computer only logs the time for those threads as <1% of my total CPU usage. If my processor were a Pentium 4-M, it would probably be dissipating about 2W, on average.
However, if I were to make an "observation", I would say that your tendency to "nit pick" Intel's press releases gives me the impression that you are only doing so to spread FUD. Your insistence to reference AMD whenever anyone mentions Intel seems to indicate that you are still cheerleading, even though you "pretend" to be unbiased. Intel has distanced themselves from AMD's mobile offerings by quite some space, and you feel compelled to find fault with that. I hope you have better luck "kicking" that habit in the future, since cheerleaders make horrible CIOs.
