It ’s about as powerful as the first Pentium M potato chip ( Banias ) , but while those tick over at 5W and average out 24.5W , this minuscule bozo sip as littleas 0.1Win its idle province , with peaks up to just 2W on the 2GHz modelling . It ’s really cheap to pump out too , tapped for the $ 200OLPCat one head .
It fall in a couple different flavors up to that 2GHz reading . To get athletic functioning — it ’s a full - fledged x86 chip , not a half - baked cutdown — out of an anorexic C.P.U. , Intel worked all sort of design mojo , like a new agile - wake cryptic sopor body politic . It ’s still a bittoo hungryfor smartphones , though . So , while it ’s a neat while of Si , as Arssays , it ’s still got a ways to go , especfially with stiff competition from ARM and TI . But that ’s a good thing .
