We attended the Intel Developer Forum's (IDF) second keynote this morning (did you follow the live blog?), and the most important thing that you need to know is that Intel is making “low-power” its priority. Low-power is not a new theme: ever since the Pentium 4 got shelved, power efficiency has become increasingly important. However, the pressure from mobile platforms, the rise of non-Intel tablets and the arrival of Windows 8 on ARM-based systems has made low-power the highest priority at Intel. That is partly why an upcoming generation of Intel processors, codenamed Haswell is going to consume up to 20X less power, says Intel.
