What is the power consumption of the Kirkwood + Volari?

Kirwood or other ARM SOC with PCIe could be matched with an ATI GPU. I 
looked at this 2+ years ago. Use a low core speed and only as few stream 
processors as you want to meet your max power consumption.

On the other hand I'm pretty sure I'll spin a AMD APU EOMA68 card anyway.
