...which includes motherboard components, RAM, Chipset, peripherals, hard drive/SSD/optical drive, PSU inefficiency and GPU. In other words: The whole system power consumption, not just the CPU+chipset.

The fact is that 945G SE Chipset + Dual core Atom have summed TDP less than 14W, no matter how you try to turn, twist or flip it. The AMD CPU? 22 W + Chipset.

IF This 22 W AMD CPU was SO great, why it isn't used for netbooks? Or, if AMD's K8 architecture scales so well @ 65nm, how does Intel's C2D Wolfdales do @ 45nm?

There is a reason why Intel made Atom instead of ULV Wolfdales.
