The intel graphics chip set and northbridge are power hungry. I think the idea
is optimize code for the 330 and not the peripherals with this ine

Unfortunately the 945 chipset eats ~20W - god knows why Intel lumbered the Atom
with it :(
Toms Hardware (and others) did a test of the Atom vs an underclocked Athlon and
the later won most of the tests

I think the Atom combo is cheaper and smaller though :)
