wow that's crazy.
who knows how it scales tho, it might take 1.4v to do 2.5ghz.

all of a sudden laptops will have incredible battery life.

i just realized this was a core DUO!!? even more impressive.
i bet with one of these and basic video, your HD would be the largest consumer of power. fast forward 5 years with a solid state drives, imagine the possibilities.
can you post the original article?

Looks like a very ideal laptop CPU.

Personally, I wouldn't expect it to even hit 2 GHz under any conditions. It is not an overclocker's chip. The transistors are engineered for lower power and low speeds and they do an amazing job at that. This brings tremendous potential for the portable market...maybe even handheld devices.hUMANbEATbOX said:wow that's crazy.

the battery life would be nuts on that...imagine a 12cell in that thing
I mean, you can get 6-7 hours right now on certain lappies with a 12cell, that would probably be closer to 15-20

Battery life also depends on the video card. If you have a 7900GTX in there....

The real question is what does it burn under load? If I run two primes on it will the thing jump to 30w like a normal moble processor? Or is it just one that can uberundervolt and underclock. It's somthing to have a 200Mhz processor sitting doing nothing with most of its transistors turned off then to have one at full speed calculating the atoms in the universe.

I wonder if it would be possible to passively cool this thing. That would be ideal for a HTPC. Just one or more fan(s) as an exhaust or something. That would be nice.

Yes! This is so awesome. I agree, if solid state HDDs come into play....
Plus, look at the first gen DX10 cards. The recent Anandtech article (sorry don't have a link presently) which talked about how high-end GPUs will draw some 300W of power also refered to how there would be a sharp decline in GPU TDP---an overall shift towards more efficient 3d work.
Obviously this is a good thing for us: in this case on two fronts. First on the desktop front, as we're learning with Conroe, an increased focus on efficiency means way more overclockability for those of us who care more about performance than efficiency.
Further, on the mobile front, this means very low-power 3d capabilities will be around as well. Couple this with <1W processors, low-voltage DDR2, solid state HDDs, OLED displays, increased battery efficiency...and you've got a real surf-and-write-on-the-go machine on your hands!
/me hopes this goes down within 25 months

just remeber that what it consumes, and what they say it comsumes will probably be differant. Thats probably 0.75W while its in sleep mode (i know he said average!) But yeah, regaurdless of that, it will be a very low consumption chip.
