Lower power means less demand for quickly spinning fans. Fan noise is quite a huge purchase decision factor for some people looking to buy a home pc (like me, I'm one of those people).

On a desktop you will get much farther with bigger fans than with low power chips. That is, unless you want to be fanless, that is a expensive extreme.
