Do you know about CPU Halt and Grant Idle states?

I haven't managed to find any recent figures on AMD/Intel websites, but they
must be on there somewhere.

I've found approximate figures for previous generation processors which
suggest that consumption drops from around 20W to 3W when the processor is
in an idle state. Unfortunately, the source is less than bomb proof.
