Cedar Trail will be a giant of an energy saver
It will use a TDP less than 10W
Intel has its energy-saving CPU road-map firmly followed. The present N and the Z5 series will give way to the first Pine trail platform N450 in Jan and the N470 due later in the H1 of 2010. And then the Cedar trail takes over in 2011. The Pine trail will be based on 45nm processor technology, and Cedar trail will be based on 32nm platform. Their first CPU is rumoured to be the 'Cedarview' and measures just 32nm. It will have an integrated memory controller that supports DDR3 1066 memory modules; although Intel plans to support only single channel memory, it may support two DIMMs.
Fudzilla.com has also reported that the Cedarview will utilise a new graphics core, enabling support for DirectX 10.1, HD (such as Blu-ray and 'official certification as well as Dual digital display'), VGA, LVDA, LVDS, eDP, HDMI and DisplayPort.
The impressive thing is that the Cedar Trail will use a TDP less than 10W, while the upcoming Pineview-D will have a TDP between 12W - 15W. These are for the single-core versions; the dual core will have more TDP.
