As I'm not hardware guy, I don't know if it has sence, but (of course, it
will be more diffiult than current):
Chipset will have support for CPU, RAM, flash, one USB hub. No SATA, PATA
and similiar.
Additionaly cpu 9something about 200 - 400 Mhz), ram, flash and devices
connected over usb...
Maybe this will be more exergy efective....
Pozdrowienia/Best Regards
