A complete netbook using a dual core Atom would use around 14-15W under full CPU load.
The point of Atom is a dirt-cheap CPU that has low enough of energy use to be put into a tiny and inexpensive package without worrying too much about cooling and whose performance is adequate for typical usage. Intel already has the unmatched C2D for any other mobile application where performance is of any importance whatsoever.At least for me, this is a closed case.
