Why having northbridge integrated into A64s doesn't mean Turion will be better than Centrinos in power consumption: http://66.102.7.104/search?q=cache:j5v0...000535+chipset+power+consumption&hl=en
in short: P4 chipsets have the lowest power consumption.
Now imagine the chipsets used in the Centrinos.
865G/P power consumption: http://www.intel.com/design/chipsets/designex/252519.htm
12.9W TDP for Dual DDR400 with integrated graphics 11.3W with discrete graphics which is in line with 10W measured at the link at Aceshardware.
http://www.intel.com/design/chipsets/datashts/252615.htm
Intel 855GME with integrated graphics consume less than 4.3W.
For comparison, chipset used in the Sonoma platform: http://www.intel.com/design/mobile/datashts/305264.htm
Intel 915GM 6.0W
Intel 915PM 5.5W
Intel 915GMS 4.8W
Desktop versions of above: http://www.intel.com/design/chipsets/designex/301469.htm
16.3W
Remember that 845 chipsets are 0.18 micron, 865/875 at 0.13 micron(Link: http://www.anandtech.com/showdoc.aspx?i=1811&p=3), 915/925 chipsets are likely 0.13 micron.
