nickronomycon: Burning match1000J == 1000 Watt seconds
nickronomycon: aka 1kiloJoule
nickronomycon: candy bar == 1000 kJ
nickronomycon: 5W CPU running all day == amount of heat generated by burning 432 matches
nickronomycon: average desktop CPU from last year is what .. 10 - 40 times as much ..
pretender: Woman running for 1 hr: 10^6 Joule
nickronomycon: biological process == heaps efficient
nickronomycon: 1,000,000 matches can be made from one tree
nickronomycon: about 50 matches in a box .. so a five watt cpu is about 9 boxes of matches per day
nickronomycon: and a 200W cpu still sucks

nickronomycon: freaking 3.0 ~ freaking 5.0 freaking W
nickronomycon: i wanna see this benchmarked next to current VIA eden
fridge: fraeaking 3.1415 ~ 1.618 freaking Pi freaking Phi
nickronomycon: AMD have one that uses less, but isn't as fast .. but I was reluctant to mention it because they gave it a stupid stupid deceptive stupid name
nickronomycon: eg Geode(TM) LX 800@0.9W yes that's its name, and it actually uses .. guess! 1.8W. WTF?
nickronomycon: 1.8W typical, 3.5W max.
nickronomycon: so tell me again, which CPU should I buy to make a nice quiet cool media/internet PC?
seti: Via would do as well (paging coderman)
