While I think your figures for North-and Southbridge are fairly precise, the chipset i referred to includes grafics in the northbridge. To determine what power handicap RAMDAC and ADC really mean (which would be heavily dependent on quality of grafics btw in terms of resolution, Colours and refresh rate)
is way beyond my technical capabilities. Thats why I called my estimates uneducated. However, in the lid of my AMD-64-book there is a component producing heat which by the touch does not feel like milliwatts, but like Watts.

Then, although it is fairly old, i think this on is still valid:
