Re: Power consumption is an important factor in probably over 50% of purchases on a revenue basis. Ummm. The dominant chip in the CPU market continues to be the Netburst core P4.

>> Power consumption is an important factor in probably over 50% of purchases on a revenue basis. Is there any study of it for PC's ? I totally doubt that. Just to put your % figure in perspective, for sure AMD does not have 50% of the PC market, regardless of the claimed power efficiency. So either AMD does not have advantage in power efficiency (false) or the 50% figure is not proved (the only remaining possibility). >> Finally, all notebook sales live and die on battery life and whether there is lap-cooking heat production or shoulder wrenching weight. and yet lots of in-efficient processors are sold in notebooks. Possibly because other considerations might outweigh.
