Yeah, ouch for AMD. They are going to have to shrink the power dissipation of their X2 parts quite a bit to get them into a mobile enclosure, and that's based off their lowest power 2.0GHz sku today. Maybe if they go to 1.8GHz and lower the voltage, then run a few process tricks, then they can get into Yonah's power range.

You seem to have forgotten that AMD mobile parts like Turion use DIFFERENT TRANSISTORS, trading frequency overhead for reduced power dissipation.

Wasn't it you that lost an argument with me over that very issue?
