re: <graphic on p. 7 was interesting> Indeed -- "Intel memory controller hub" uses 90% as much power as CPU (9% vs. 10%) in a laptop. Does that include the memory itself, since the pie chart doesn't have a "memory" slice? There is an "Other" slice at 8%, so if memory were included in it, it would mean that the MCH is almost as significant as the CPU. And I would think that the pie slice would have been labeled "memory subsystem" if the 9% included both MCH power and memory power.

Of course, for Sempron, Athlon 64 and Turion, no MCH is required.

Agreed. Especially the peculiar "CPU: 10% / Memory controller: 9%" bit! Thanks for the report.
