Slightly OT but I keep hearing rumors of a 120W 3330/12mb/1600 Harpertown.
That would be pretty close to the numbers I see here for TDP decreases.
My Clovers at 3157 draw 144W with 1.35V(coretemp) 1.3v reported in BIOS.

The 50W 2.66Ghz Quad looks very nice. I wish Intel would make these for the 3000 series too. Or maybe desktop aswell.

My goal is to be under the 65W today in my next build. I could settle for a 3.16Ghz dualcore too at 40W.

I also dont see any reason for them not being able to make a 3.16Ghz 80W quad using LV chips.

Agreed, 50W at 2660 would make a hell of a combo.
Electrical cost has now become a big factor and my little end of this hobby is the DC work.
An 8 core clover at over 3000mhz costs me close to $90.00 a month to run.
A constant 450W draw thru the wall to feed it.
I'm doing a system now to try and offset some of that.
A dual sossaman(yonah) with 31w cpu's.
This was sort of lost as the C2D's appeared very shortly after it's launch but will be interesting to see output versus elec cost.
