Problem is that for $70 you can get this card and for $30 you can get the ATI HD3450 or for $50 you can get the nvidia 8400GS. All cards run within 10% of wattage and have similiar performance and all are multimedia cards.
The ATI HD4350 seems to be the answer for sub $50 and the NVIDIA 9400GT seems to be the answer for the sub $100. So really if they would have been able to put out at lower wattage we may have been able to see numbers on a PCIE slot. Now I would like to see them take what they have learned here and apply it back to their integrated chips.
