[NEW STUFF] Intel LGA1155

[saaya]

This Clarkdale stuff is something I might want in my HTPC or Subnotebook, but that's it really.

in a subnotebook its actually not that good, cause it offers more perf at the same battery life at best, and in many scenarios more performance at worse battery life... but what 80% of laptop users want is battery life... not performance...

4 threads on a laptop are nice, or even 8... but would you sacrifice 2-4h battery life for that? see what i mean? after atom everybody got a taste of how awesome long battery life is, but perf sucked... then along came CULV, but it ended up too slow for most people... clarkdale brings higher performance, but also worse battery life, so its actually one step forward, two steps back...

but most of that is because of the 45nm GMCH, which on sandybridge is 32nm and merged into the die... and it hopefully has some REAL power management now, so im hoping for notably reduced power consumption...

sandybridge should be awesome for laptops!

Thx a lot for this JC!
heres this is for you
