Very interesting, just when we were talking about fanless CPUs, AMD started shipping Athlon XP SFF processors featuring low power consumption.:

Vcore=1.05 to 1.45 V, Max heat dissipation: 35W, price: $116

"Well, AMD has introduced a CPU for a relatively new market segment of economy PCs, which has always been the territory of VIA C3 and Transmeta Crusoe CPUs because of specific thermal and power requirements. Now it is possible to assemble power-saving and compact computers boasting the performance and features of their elder brothers, which is a very encouraging thing for those users, who need a quiet but at the same time fast solution.

This is indeed very exciting!
