Re: Those that use 5 to 10W are mostly idle with passive displays. You and others use TDP which is at full power with a performance needing application. Actually, Pete, those systems are not idle, but typically doing the kinds of things that people usually do with MIDs and Netbook devices - like surfing the Internet, playing videos, etc. The nice thing about having a CPU with 2.5W or less of TDP is that the difference between low loads and high loads is relatively small, so it doesn't matter what you are doing - you'll get good battery life either way. :-) Re: If you don't need performance, a Geode 300 to 400MHz x86 CPU uses less than a watt including a VGA GPU LOL. That's a much better solution, Pete. Take a shot at Atom for not being as fast as a 25.0W VIA CPU, but at the same time offer up a solution with similar power that is 1/5 the performance of Atom.
