    So... some old data. It is not exactly athlon 64 -- I don't have that
    particular number for it -- but: (from my old notes):

    evo n620c [63.3 Wh]
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    idle machine at 1.7GHz, min bl: 13.0 W
    idle machine at 600MHz, min bl: 12.0 W

    thinkpad x32 [52Wh]
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~
    idle machine at 600MHz, min bl: 10 W
    at 1.8GHz: +6.6 W

    hp nx5k [56.8Wh]
    ~~~~~~~
    idle, min bl: 19 W
    min bl, 1.4GHz: 22 W

    ...so yes, I kind of see a pattern there. And you should be able to
    easily see the difference, too, if you took something from that era...
