Kyro II Based Notebook... when will we see it?

According to the article here on anandtech, the Kyro only dissipates 4W of heat, pretty close to the GeForce2MX... and I believe the GeForce2Go runs at 2.8W. I bet if they were to underclock a Kyro II right now you could get it close to that.

I wonder how long it will be before we get a Kyro II based video card on a notebook...

 
I doubt it'll be anytime soon, PowerVR doesnt seem to be looking towards the Notebook market. A Kyro 2 running at the clockspeeds of the original Kyro would probably be a good mathc for a notebook though. Especially since most notebook video cards are paired to a 64bit memory bus, and with the Kyro' Tile-Based rendering it would be much easier on the very limited memory bandwidth in a notebook then the GF2 Go or Mobile Radeon.
 
it'd be interesting especially if they were focused on that market (dumb that they aren't). they haven't probably actually bothered to work on power draw, besides reducing the process they are created on to .18 micron...
