yea the tulatin takes like 27watts and 48 amperes? A ampere is a amp righ? WOW thats a hell of a lot of power!! i remember last year in 8th grade in art class the kiln for the clay drying took 39 amps of electricity and it had cabel coming in that were 1 inch thick. why doest the cpu have that then?
I think the CPU power consumption is in milli amps, a very tiny % of a whole amp ;)... most houses don't run that many amps for the entire electrical system...

An amp at 220 volts for the kiln is WAY more wattage than an amp at 3.3 volts for a CPU. amps*volts=watts, so 40 amps at 3.3v is not a whole lot compared to 4 amps at 220 volts. Wattage is what to look at more often than not. Hope this clears things up.
