I think people are often too easily impressed by the 9W figure and go Wow that’s impressive. I’m not impressed by a 9W TDP for a single core K8 at 1GHz. AMD have had a dual core X2 on 90nm at 2GHz with a TDP of 35W out for quite a while now, which offers roughly the same performance per watt:
2 x 2GHz = 4GHz for 35W = 35 / 4 = 8.75W per GHz.
Admittedly, these X2 3800+ EE SFF chips seem to be about as easy to locate as a certain Mr Bin Laden.

...and UMPCs? I want a UMPC with a good 3D graphics core, though. The one that's coupled with Geode doesn't do 3D.

The AMD Geode™ LX 700 0.8W processor, the AMD Geode LX800 0.9W processor, and the new AMD Geode LX 900 1.5W processor

Wow, there's some miserly chips. Those would be perfect for an always-on web browsing, file serving, family album making computer for my house....

Perfect for always on machines. I have to look into where these systems exist as I have been using my main system to simply upload weather data. It doesn't require anything special, Windows95 etc. I would prefer a fanless low power design and this fits the bill. The power of a few nightlights would be perfect.

Always good to see this market segment get attention. My friends who build restaurant Point of Sale systems have been using 700MHz P3-derived celerons (running Win2K or XP, but down and running just the PoS app) and they're fine for that, but I think this may actually offer more compute horsepower at (more importantly) a lower TDP.

so this is to compete against the 5.5w intel core solo?

Seems like an update to the Geode NX platform. The 1Ghz K7 becomes a K8, the SiS chipset becomes the M690 and presto.
