New Intel Processor that runs on insanely low levels of power!

At Intel’s Developer Forum, Chief Technology Officer Justin Ruttner demonstrated one of Intel’s latest research items — a microprocessor that consumes insanely low levels of power.

Code-named Claremont, the circuits on this processor operate very close to their “threshold voltage,” which is the minimum voltage at which the circuit can change states and pass a current. This allows the entire processor to run on less than 10 milliwatts at its minimum, which is a significant improvement.

Report I heard had an Intel spokesperson saying the technology is at least a year from actual manufacture. But it will
Be a major improvement in battery life and provide new and tinier places for 'computers' to be used.
