Embedded? That's gonna be really hot.
As far as I know, the Athlon64 series score pretty well in terms of the MFLOPS per Watt that they deliver. I'm not really worried about that.
Probably a bigger problem is the associated wearable battery pack.
The Athlon M(obile), which, AFAICT, is pin compatible with the AthlonXP, generates a *lot* less heat than the others, and would
be very good in an embedded system.
Experimentally, one runtime thread uses 70% of a 3000+ processor. I've been using the Athlon64-Mobile so far and been quite happy; is there that much of a power saving, going to a comparable AXPM?
Out of curiosity, and if you can tell us, why do you need all that A64 juice in a SFF?
Due to restrictions imposed by the customer, I can only disclose the purpose under NDA or to people generating a response to an RFQ. Sorry ...
PS. Off topic to the list: A year ago, I came across a P4 wearable computer unit that was in a 3 1/2 inch hard drive form factor case. I've lost the reference ... but if someone happens to know of it ?
