Btw , a NB does use 25w.

975X uses 13w ; P965 uses 20w , P35~15w , X38 around >20w IIRC.Put that on process parity with the CPU and you cut power by 2-4x.


The discussion was if integrating more functionality in the CPU has an effect on power consumption.Let's not derail from that.
P965 uses LESS than 975X. I think you did like theinq in that calculation...

Also P35 uses a tiny bit more than P965.
