Re: AMD has a 1GHz Geode at 6W or 1.4GHz at 14W

Fair enough, but again these are K7 cores on their newest manufacturing process. I don't think AMD has reached these levels with a K8 core. Intel's best 90nm part was a 1.2GHz Dothan chip at 5.5W. It seems impressive given today's leakage levels that they can hit the same frequency using Yonah based dual cores at only 9W. I'm also curious to see how much power a dual core ULV Merom will dissipate.
