What are the power consumption figures for AMD X2 939 CPU's?

4400x2, CNQ enabled, Toledo
4200x2, CNQ enabled, Manchester

Intel E8200 is 2.5W Idle, 27W full load

Since the HTPC is in 24/7 I would like low power consumption, not using 100W from the CPU even on idle.
 
if we assume the toledo is a 69w model, stick that into the benchtest calc with the lowest c+q state - 1000mhz @1.1v for desktop chips, you get 20w - LOAD at c+q speeds. less for idle.
tbh, i think intel will win this round, unless you pay for one of the EE desktop chips. i think toms did a comparison of this nature recently
