Re: My bet on this one is because AMD is so aggressive with their channel lengths that their subthreshold currents are so high the XP sucks up too much power even when unclocked

You lose, Athlon4 (mobile) 1.2GHZ chip uses less power than the 1.1GHZ Athlon4 (they lowered the voltage slightly).

Buy your Athlon4 mobile system from Compaq at:
athome.compaq.com

You are certainly correct.

If you lift up a 1 GHz AthWIper notebook and feel the bottom of the case, you will darn near toast your hand.

I'm sure all the major OEMs passed on the 1.2 GHz AthWiper Mobile Toaster Oven !!
