Combjelly, Re: "Banais is a different issue. First, it will be interesting to see what it actually is. Second, maybe we can get away from laptop processors that need 30 or more watts..."

If laptops can get away with processors that need 30W or more for power dissipation, then both the Pentium 4 and the Athlon 4 will do just fine. However, I'm thinking that increasing complexity and size of processors will mean that AMD and Intel will have to pay the piper sooner or later. It's good for Intel that they at least have a plan to implement a new, lower power architecture. I'd say that if it can perform even close to the Athlon, while offering much lower power, then that would be a big win for Intel.

combjelly, that may not be necessary. There are many companies working on fuel-cell like technologies that will replace conventional batteries on laptops and by the end of next year they should be out. They are promising 24 hour life on the average 25W laptop.
