    Though I must add that intel and AMD's definition of TDP is different.And intel's real peak heat dissipation is higher than the released TDP.

    I'd still rather have a Core 2 Duo ULV U7500/U7600 or something. TDP's 10W. Despite the differences in calculations, it's not terribly far off and gives you dual core performance.

    Still, would be interesting for very low power machines, possibly UMPCs.
