The lower grade AMDs are still competitive with the comparable ones from
Intel, and are available in two low-consumption models, lower than Intel
(ADO, rated at 65W maximum, and ADD, at 35W). They might be useful to
build a near-silent pc (but you'll might run into issues with NVidia and
ATI chipsets, VIA might be a good choice).

At least according to these tests (note: conducted under Windows)
