Intel dives into the ultra-low power pool | CNET News.com

Intel has announced a processor that may be 1,000 times more power-efficient than existing ones! This is certainly good news for power-aware mobile computing. Now, we also need low-power displays, and combine them with low-power NICs, that are also soon to come out based on Hiearchical Power Management. I think that these developments will change user experience not just quantitatively, but qualitatively: you will charge your cell phone once a year, instead of weekly! Or, more realistically, perhaps, charge weekly, but do much more with it.
