Despite the advent of lower-power designs from Intel and AMD recently, today's processors are still power-hungry beasties. One company says it has a solution to the problem, which may lead to the kind of clock speed increases we used to see back in the heyday of Intel's 'it's all about CPU speed' fixation.

Early stages of development eh? I've got my doubts based on some other theoretical-on-paper products that didn't turn out so well in reality including but not limited to netburst, glaze 3d, rambus, and the K6III.
Ok, maybe the Glaze 3D doesn't count, that's vaporware.
The idea of square CPU cycles is an innovative approach though.

If you're looking for a low-power system today (not some years in the future), check out www.mini-itx.com (and no, I don't work for them or own VIA stock).
I've noticed that DamnSmallLinux sells mini-itx systems on their web site. Plenty of other sources, if you look around.

I wonder why we are told about products to come, instead about products, which are here :-)
You can go to http://www.epiacenter.com , which seems to be more active than http://www.mini-itx.com and you will find there link to reviews to C7-M based notebooks already ....
cheers,

Anyone seen the new VIA ULV's (ultra-low-voltage)? The 1.5GHz ULV consumes 7.5W. That's great. Go VIA. I just bought a 533MHz fanless VIA C3, which uses about 2.6W, for my server.
