Yes, but it's not as efficient as a Pentium-M, and you can't buy it 
everywhere yet.

That's just thermal dissipation, not real power usage.

I'm wondering what stresstest you did on that winny? Running SuperPI, 
3DSmax renders etc. produces heat sometimes in excess of the TDP 
spedified for said processor (I tested on a Winchester 3000+).

But performance, again, is weak when compared to the normal Pentium-M or 
the not yet widely available Turion64. But let's keep the decision to 
Yaroslav :).
