FUD Zilla
had a chat with Intel and learned new Core i7 processors with a TDP below 130W will be unveiled next year:
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.
