CombJelly - Yes they are. But still not in the range of Centrino/Pentium-M. ...the 2800+/3000+/3200+ all have a TDP of 62 watts. Centrino/Pentium-M is at 25 watts. Now true, the new A64s can run at 13 watts, but that is at 800 MHz.

I see. Thanks, CombJelly.

CJ, Re: the 2800+/3000+/3200+ all have a TDP of 62 watts. Centrino/Pentium-M is at 25 watts.

The 3200+ has a second intermediate power state that dissipates 34W at 1.6GHz, which is pretty amazing that they can cherry pick parts that run this low. I think that would come close to offering a performance/power ratio close to Pentium M, but then again, for the trouble I'm inclined to just get a Pentium M.

P.S. I'm hearing that Intel will release their 802.11b/g solution later this month. That should definitely help to increase the competitiveness of the Centrino bundle.
