Hello all,
Last week I got a new Athlon X2 model processor,
which is for OEM only and have a TDP of JUST 22W!
I tested it a bit and below are some pics for your reference.

Nice. Technically an 11Watts per core CPU. How is the overal performance? And how does it OC? lol. Any benchmarks? Is it passivly cooled?
22W is nice, mostly for HTPC builds...but 1500MHz? :/

I had strings but now I'm free.

yah I figured it would now they just need to make it available to the public, I wanted to build one with a 780G and if my math is right the platform will draw 50w max........Amd needs to release this to the public, or not bother competing with atom, I will not buy a prebuilt rig with this cpu.....I want to set it up for my needs, not what someone thinks my needs are. You have a killawatt there? Would be nice to know if my math is correct for 780G.

What really interesting is that it fits in the standard AM2 940 pin socket. The Atom requires you to use their NB/SB arrangement.
Interestingly, Intel is currently trying to prevent Nvidia from using Atom with a downscaled chipset they did called ION.

i found most AMD G2 processor's can run 2,8 Ghz plus .
i think this processor can run 2 Ghz + .

I still have more to come up, stay tuned ~
2.3GHz done, still - default vcore
If you love my DIY case, please let me know
I'm still using an Athlon XP Barton core laptop, so any chance of upgrading to an AFFORDABLE dual core K8 @1.5 GHz laptop with decent on board graphic is certainly appreciated by me.
that would be sweet if they sold a board like that

Wonder if its possible to tie with a atom in power usage now and get much higher performance at the same time.
If I get this and a HD4550, is there then some fancy idle features so that gfx dont burn a lot of watts while not doing anything? Because then I should be able to get a very cheap running HTPC

It does not meet amd's specs for a smooth HTPC experience. This is geared more towards low power consumption/longer battery life netbooks. IIRC correctly the 740g setup with the 3250e is only 5 watts over an atom platform, so 780g would be 10 watts at most.

Do you understand that this AMD CPU is 1.5 GHz and has TDP of 22 W, while Intel Atom has TDP of less than 4 W? Dual Core Atoms will have TDP of 8 W.
You do the math.
Want to count the chipset in? 6W for the 945GSE chipset. So, 10 Watts for the CPU AND a chipset. Oh, that is less than 50 % of what AMD CPU takes alone.
Still possible?
your math is off and it's already been tested.........atom platform does like 5 watts less........than the single core amd variant on a 740g.......ATOM also has a weakness, I forget what it was but the best way to decribe it is a one way street. In the watt department its a win, performance its a fail. I'll take the higher performance at the cost of 5-10 watts.
