Intel has rolled out four new Sandy Bridge laptop processors with a TDP of just 17W
All four offerings have 17W thermal envelopes and FCBGA1023 ball-grid-array packages, so they're sure to show up in ultraportables from various manufacturers. The Celeron 847's low price should make it ripe for cheap consumer ultraportables—the kind that rub elbows with Atom netbooks yet feature better displays, faster hardware, and Windows 7 Home Premium. 1.1GHz without Turbo Boost or Hyper-Threading isn't exactly fast, though, even by Sandy Bridge standards.
Specifications:
Core i7-2677M: 1.8GHz, 2.9GHz Turbo, 2 cores/4 threads, 4MB L3, $317
Core i7-2637M: 1.7GHz, 2.8GHz Turbo, 2 cores/4 threads, 4MB L3, $289
Core i5-2557M: 1.7GHz, 2.7GHz Turbo, 2 cores/4 threads, 3MB L3, $250
Celeron 847: 1.1GHz, no Turbo, 2 cores/2 threads, 2MB L3, $134
