[W. Wayne Liauh]

Very interesting, just when we were talking about fanless CPUs, AMD 
started shipping Athlon XP SFF processors featuring low power consumption.:

Vcore=1.05 to 1.45 V, Max heat dissipation: 35W, price: $116

"Well, AMD has introduced a CPU for a relatively new market segment of 
economy PCs, which has always been the territory of VIA C3 and Transmeta 
Crusoe CPUs because of specific thermal and power requirements. Now it 
is possible to assemble power-saving and compact computers boasting the 
performance and features of their elder brothers, which is a very 
encouraging thing for those users, who need a quiet but at the same time 
fast solution.

This is indeed very exciting!
