A laptop CPU needs 100Watts? (Score 2, Informative)

a typical notebook computer CPU needing 100 watts, according to SiCortex CEO John Mucci

My laptop draws about 20Watts max when running on battery power, even with the CPU running full-throttle. Much of those watts is for the backlight and drive. A 'typical laptop CPU', an Intel Pentium Mobile, uses maximal 24W, according to the datasheet provided by Intel. Saying a laptop would typically use 100W is a bit overstated.
