They only draw that little because on average the CPU is clocked back to a
very low speed.  At full clock they draw much more power than when idled
back.

AS far as I know there is NO protection simply because it is not needed.

Mobile CPUs usually eats cca tens / hundreds of mAh which is still less
that
even Intel Atom for netbooks needs.

>> Greetings everybody,

i.e.
