Posted on Saturday, June 17 2006 @ 19:05 CEST by Thomas De Maesschalck

Intel announced a new Pentium D processor version with a 35W less power consumption will be available soon:

In a document sent to partners, Intel said that starting from September 11, 2006, it would ship Intel Pentium D processors models 960, 950, 945, 925 and 915 with D-0 core stepping, which, Intel said, means that the product identification string (CPUID) will change to F65 (requiring BIOS update) and Intel Pentium D 960 chip’s thermal design power (TDP) will be reduced from 130W to 95W.
