I'm sure the XScale will come close to the StrongARMs' power consumption, altho I'd be curious to know if it would beat it.

Here is the Intel PXA250 homepage: http://www.intel.com/design/pca/prodbref/298620.htm

I found a graph that beautifully displays power-performance in comparison with all their mobile processors @ http://www.intel.com/design/intelxscale/pic/chart2.gif

And hrm...found this inside the XScale press release @ Intel.com:

Wonder what device that is...perhaps the forthcoming Intel/Microsoft Smartphone 2002 ref design?
