What MS has intelligently done is set a thermal dissipation limit as well:
15 watts NOT including the graphics and chipset technologies. This will
obviously push companies like Intel, AMD, VIA and maybe even NVIDIA (x86
CPU anyone?) to focus on making as powerful a CPU as they can in that 15
watt envelope and could bring about a new era of power efficient computing.
