The new AM2 X2 3800+ will only consume 35w of power, making it an attractive choice for me. Hell, I might even forgo spending only $700 on a PC to get an AM2 3800+, it could pay for itself with lower power bills

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Good job for AMD!. The current 100+ Watts are insane.

Here's the source, it still seems though that the high-end CPUs will be sucking watts like no tomorrow. But 35W is awesome. My current PC, a 700MHz Slot A Athlon, uses up 42W; what a difference it makes when CPU manufacturers actually look at their laptop CPUs and put their power saving features into a desktip CPU.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
