The 0.13s dissipate much less heat than the widely available AMDs... > According to these specs, my athlon XP 1600+ has a typical power > consumption of 56.3W. A 1.6G pentium 4 has a spec of 60.8W. Why compare to the old pre-0.13 chips? Celeron 1.2A is rated at 30W.... P4 1.6A is rated at 38.7W. - Tom.
