Power Consumption of various processors

[BA]

Ok, for my next project, I'm going to be making the smallest computer I can. Now, because of the space constraints, I'm probably going to end up using like a 73W power supply, and heat will be a major issue. I'm basically thinking of either a Celermine or a K6-3+(figure being a mobile CPU, it's pretty low power), so how do their power consumptions compare? Or maybe I'll just use an OG Athlon

And while I'm at it, do notebook CD drives just use regular notebook IDE connections?

Well, i've no info in this area at all but a Duron at 900Mhz gets about 46 Watts.

Anyone else know anything, or where I could find such info?

Here's the info your looking for.

The thermal design specs are in the respective data sheets. Visit www.amd.com and developer.intel.com to learn more.

Now since Intel does not produce low-power CPUs for use in standard socket-370, you should go AMD.

AMD's Embedded Computing division offers the K6-2+ in extremely low-power flavors down to 1.4V and just a few watts in full operating mode.
