Intel presents Core Duo with power consumption below 1W

Intel has extended the energy saving feature of its mobile architecture for Intel Centrino based laptops by providing a sneak peek of a new ultra low voltage Intel Core Duo processor, notebook processors that will only consume a median average of less than a watt (.75 watts) -- the lowest in the industry -- while still delivering high-performing computing power.

Chandrasekher said the processor will be available from OEMs such as Dell and HP and resellers starting this summer for their slimmest and sleekest laptop designs.
