    This ultra low power x86 CPU push from Intel looks to me to be an attempt to get their next gen(s?) Atom CPU's into tablets and smartphone's and unseat ARM. So far, a market Intel has had woefully little success in.

    This is cool. I remember being amazed that a calculator could run off a solar panel strip on it.

    Low power = low heat. Yay for silent, passively cooled systems!

    Good times. Now if Intel could couple it with a low-power Northbridge chipset we'd be in business.
