One of the chaps we talked to during IDF let slip that Intel is working on a version of the Core i7 processors which will have a lower TDP than the current 130W model, which is indeed good news, as no-one likes a hot running processor.
We didn't get too much details, just that the new versions, which might include new models, will be out sometime in the first half of 2009. It looks like it might well be worth waiting for these new processors, especially if you're worried about the iffy memory issues we wrote about here.
