A 3.2GHz Intel Xeon dissipates upwards of 90W. 1.8Ghz Pentium-M (mobile) are down below 30W and have similar performance. :-) More relevantly, a scenix (ubicom) SX28 (similar to 16F57, but does instructions in one clock at 75MHz) is spec'ed at about 100mA at 75Mhz (about 75MIPS, but some methods of counting.) That seems to be a common consumption for CMOS chips operating in that clock range (GALS and even 74xxx login for that sort of frequency also seem to run 100mA per chip...)
