I can not follow your conclusion. The CPU takes up only a part of the whole power consumption of a netbook with all subsystems fully enabled.
I would be able to reduce consumption on my netbook by 4.4W just by disabling most subsystems/peripherals.
vinnie:
My discourse is simple, if a x86 architecture comes to 10w (all inclusive, the wattmeter can not attack only on the processor), an arm, which is certainly have more moderate consumption, can easily reach 5w with all inclusive.
tinypoodle:
i guess we agree to totally disagree then.
IMHO also the comparison of the efika smartbook versus smarttop from same line with same Freescale i.MX515 at 12W versus 5W relativates the relevance of the processor regarding power consumption.
vinnie:
Of course, the processor consumes only a fraction of the total, but the architecture also includes everything else on the motherboard
tinypoodle:
... certainly not the display.
Based on this,

I would calculate a consumption of 3.6852W for display of a netbook at max.brightness.
