"Your wonderful AMD part at 4W needs to compete with Intel's Merom that has an idle wattage of 1W" Merom is a desktop part? Talk about blinders. You keep bringing up the $5 worth of power like it is a telling point, it isn't. The lower power gives designers more flexibility. Period. That is the area of importance. Now true, Intel could do the same, but they are risking the price premium they get for notebook processors. Which is a risk they are only going to do when they absolutely have to. And that means it won't be anytime soon. And for a small form factor, quiet box, they still have a problem with Aero Glass compatibility. Yah know, smooth, you really should try reality for a change. Labeling a post the dumbest of the day when you obviously didn't understand it, is, well, probably not the swiftest thing you have done. In addition, you keep accusing me of having blinders when you are obviously refusing to understand my posts because of your love affair with Intel. You didn't make a point as much as you attempted to mount a flawed and weak defense. In addition, you belittled me several times in the process. Admittedly, I was somewhat harsh with my last post, but the "dumbest post of the day" label with no coherent reason why it might be the case is just asking to be flamed. If you keep flaming me, despite your limited comprehension you have shown so far, I will have to keep on being harsh. Really, try to educate yourself. It does pay off.
