TG Daily reports Intel showcased Moorestown at the IDF in Beijing:
According to Perlmutter, Moorestown will feature next-gen OS power management, along with distributed power gating for improved performance as well as major reductions in idle and active power sipping.

To illustrate his point, Perlumtter ran a demo that provided 50 times platform idle power reduction and up to 10 times power reduction in audio playback compared to Intel's first-generation "Menlow" platform.

Perlmutter also assured conference attendees that Moorestown remained "on track" and would be introduced during the first half of 2010.
