Y'know, everyone who's saying "what's the point" ... these processors are awesome for developers and for small devices. There's a video around somewhere about a VIA C3 cpu showing how it puts out so little heat that it doesn't even need a heatsink.
If there is a comparison between the Intel and AMD offerings along with this--no doubt it'd be run over flat by the power of the Intel and AMD cpus, but when it comes to making a very tiny package (see the whole carpc forums to see what the tiny cpu has done for the pc-in-your-car scene)
Anyway, I can't wait to see this in some consumer products or even a dev board!
