Suddenly both A1 and the PegasosII look inneficient in terms of power consumption, compared to this litle gem! Power consumption 0.25-0.3 Watt while running at 1600MHz... and it still is x86 compatible...

No I'm not ranting in favour of any OS with this post.
It's rather a question to both Genesi and Eyetech "Why would any company prefer your PPC solutions for their embended products, rather this, somewhat proven, x86 compatible that draws less energy".

"Demonstrating the technology in public for the first time, the company was able to reduce Efficeon's in-sleep power consumption from around 0.25W to under 0.03W."

Sounds like this is the power consumption when the processor is in it's sleep mode.  Still a great number but it would use a lot more power when it was running at full load.

Nobody is perfect  :-D
Besides, it´s only Monday, the week has just started so a lot of us probably need some time to boot up our brain after another week-end  :-D
