With th current technologies, scaling CPUs should be no problems. If fullfledged computerCPU's can run at a mere 35watt on full load and half of that on idle, it wouldn't be strange if a minimobileCPU could do the same. Show power when needed, otherwise, go to sleep. Especially since the OS is linuxbased.
