AMD Ontario APU pictured,die size ~77mm^2

Certainly. Bobcat isn't living at all to the hype you and others have created. Where is the sub 1w CPU that informal was bragging about ?

Where it is? on the die of course!

The sub 1W capable core is on the 10 times larger SOC die of course.
Do you really think AMD is lying in all these presentations?

Do you realize that driving the memory bus to a SODIMM or other
external memory may already take several Watt? That's why smart
phones have the DRAM in the package.

Have you done your homework and read all the fine print of how
some ultra low TDP's are measured and defined. Do you understand
that you are comparing with an SKU which is NOT binned for ultra
low power consumption at all but is just the cheapest bin for small
embedded applications. The 5W part is defined with (cheaper)
1.5V memory I/O devices and not even low power 1.35V LPDDR or
a more appropriate mobile POP setup.

You found this on an investor board as always didn't you? From
"somebody" who claims that an Atom core is an order of magnitude
more power efficient as a Bobcat core, yes? and you do believe this.....
