The power source for C3P0 is much smaller than anything we can design today.

True, but that's not superscience. Nothing in our understanding of physics or natural law says such a power source is impossible, we just don't know how to build one. It's not impossible by any theory, unlike, say, FTL travel. We even have theoretical ideas about how it might be done, even if we can't do it yet, unlike the conscious AI feature.
