AMD Rolls Out New Low-Power Athlon 64 Processors
At the Embedded Systems Conference this week, AMD announced the addition of three new low power AMD Athlon 64 processors to its embedded product lineup, giving systems designers the benefits of AMD64 technology in a thermal envelope as low as 8 watts. The single core AMD Athlon 64 processor models 2000+, 2600+, and 3100+ adopt Socket AM2 and feature power envelopes of 8, 15, and 25W maximum thermal design power, respectively. They support ECC memory for high reliability data applications and are especially applicable for systems such as Network Attached Storage (NAS), Advanced Mezzanine Cards (AMCs) for the telecommunications market, and various single board computing and industrial implementations. These models will be generally available in Q4.

PS this is a joke of course, we can all do with mobile devices with low power envelopes.
god, the laptop potential :D
personally, i'd love a laptop with a 3000+, 1GB ram and overall it uses 30-40W power for the whole thing. 5+ hours battery ftw!
or those who run their pc 24/7
I'm getting one of these and putting a TEC on it. Just to see what the Chip will do on a heavy overclock.

I just told the boss man about these chips, and he was excited to say the least. We could cut the electric bill big time with PCs running these chips.
If they keep the cost rather low, I will definitely consider one of these!
at least i think so, if i'm right it should be 100W for quad, not very good
not that it matters, at stock it undervolts to around 1.1V, so it'd be 50-60W quad then.
