The most efficient AMD mATX mainboard we've tested, the Gigabyte GA-MA74GM-S2 (paired with a 45W AMD processor) has a small though 4W advantage at idle. However with any kind of load, the two Intel mini-ITX boards were more efficient by 15W to 32W when paired with the E7200 processor. The E7200 however, is a much more expensive processor, retailing for $120 compared to the X2 4850e's $70. A good alternative may be the recently released $85 Pentium Dual-Core E5200. It is also a Wolfdale processor but is clocked slightly slower at 2.5Ghz and is hampered further with less L2 cache and a slower front side bus; it's likely to perform similarly.
