ASUS Unveils N3150M-E Motherboard with Celeron "Braswell" SoC
ASUS unveiled a value micro-ATX motherboard based on the new Intel Celeron N3150 SoC "Braswell." This 14 nanometer chip embeds a quad-core CPU based on the "Airmont" architecture, an integrated GPU with 12 execution units, and a dual-channel DDR3L-1600 memory controller, apart from platform core-logic. The board draws power from a 24-pin ATX and 4-pin CPU power connectors.
The SoC, with its 6W rated TDP, is cooled by a fan-less heatsink. The SoC is wired to two DDR3 DIMM slots, a PCI-Express 2.0 x16 slot, and two PCI-Express 2.0 x1 slots, apart from the board's I/O. Storage connectivity includes two SATA 6 Gb/s ports. Display outputs include HDMI and D-Sub. Gigabit Ethernet, four USB 3.0 ports, and onboard audio with audio-grade capacitors and ground-layer isolation; make for the rest of its modern connectivity.

Anyone have a clue of a desktop equivalent? Me thinks 2nd gen (1155) pentium.
6w is surreal
but once you add sound network PHY and extra sata controller thats 19 to 22w.
Turn everything off but video and the wattage goes down.
Intel should stop using other names instead of Atom!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
For comparison:
A 1.6ghz non-turbo i3 will score around 1,600 points in single-threaded Geekbench.
A 1.6-2.4ghz Atom x7 in the Surface 3 scores 1,000 points in the same test.
A 1.7ghz Core2Duo scores around 1,000 points.
I hope that helps.
