Actually, the most efficient of reasonably recent AMD/Intel desktop
processors is the AMD XP with Thorton core (Model 10 with 256K L2 Cache).
The XP2000+ (1667 MHz) runs at 47,4 W, while the slowest Celeron at 400 MHz
bus, the Celeron 1.70 Ghz, runs at 63,5 W and even the slowest Pentium 4,
the 1.30 GHz, runs at 48,9 W.
