Uhm-, so you're comparing the power draw of a cpu alone to the power draw of a system-on-chip. The Intel Atom still needs a northbridge/southbridge to even be mostly as functional as an omap. And I'll bet that even the *cheapest* Intel Atom alone costs more than Nokia pays for an OMAP2420. BTW, be sure to do some research and get some benchmarks before you *assume* that the Atom will even be as fast as your average ARM processor, clock-for-clock. Also, I'd be interested to see where you got the power consumption figures for an omap2420.
