News Intel's Cedar Mill chip 'to draw 65W'

I missed this little gem from elReg on tuesday, but luckily GOO has agents in the field with keener eyes... thecrownles spotted in an article at Vulture Central that Chipzilla's 'Cedar Mill' chip will only draw a paltry 65w - something that's bound to have an effect on all you modders and system builders out there:

Intel's 65nm desktop-destined single-core processor, 'Cedar Mill', will consume 43.5 per cent less power than today's Pentium 4 chips.

So claim Taiwanese motherboard maker sources who have seen the chip giant's roadmap, cited by DigiTimes. Cedar Mill is due to ship during the first quarter of next year.

Current 'Prescott' desktop chips consume up to 115W of power. Cedar Mill will draw just 65W, the sources claim. That's a big reduction, and one that suggests Intel may have licked the current-leakage problems that pushed the 90nm Prescott's power draw above that of the 130nm generation of the P4.
