Chuckles - Re: "For a process guy you should know better than this. For a guy with a MIT Ph.D. and someone who seems reasonably well informed your propensity to make an ass of yourself is mindboggling. Drop the meaningless FUD about powersupplies, cut your losses and move on, man."

Hey, CLOWN - AMD's numbers say the Athlon draws 42 AMPERES at 1.6 volts.

If that doesn't equal 67.2 watts, tell me why AMD is specing the device with these numbers.

Then YOU CAN MOVE ON.

Charles,

The 1.6 volts in 0.25u is not good news. This means that AMD has little chance of lowering power in going to 0.18u. I would have loved to have seen 2.2 volts in 0.25u and then 1.6 in 0.18u. The power would have dropped significantly, and we could have looked forward to mobile Athlons.

Pravin.
