IAAEE (and working in power management), and I can't believe I'm agreeing with the CS guy. The original author's comments are valid. The efficiency of such com chips is getting quite better as far as efficiency goes over the years. For example, the energy per bit, on your RS232 serial port is quite a bit higher than energy/bit of a new Ethernet MAC/PHY. This is a (good) assumption, however. Anybody know the actual data on clock/power requirements of EDGE vs. 3G to put some real data into this discussion?
