My A64 rates itself at 38.2W TDP at stock voltage(1.4V), running it at 1.1V cuts ~15W of the load wattage (measures at the wall socket), so the CPU itself is most likely using at least 10W less than at stock, easily bringing it far below 35W. My guess is that a Sempron can easily do that, and perhaps even undervolt further.Btw, using Cool&Quiet to lower CPU speed doesnt really make that much of a difference, i run at 1.8Ghz@1.1V all the time, and at idle i use less than +1W(measures at wall socket) compared to 1.0Ghz@1.1V(that is CnQ).</blockquote>
