In the 2010, Intel plans to release an update to its mobile platform with dual-core processors, known as Ultra Low Voltage. Current favorite is Ultra Low Voltage, SU9600 for ultra-thin notebooks, will be replaced with dual-core Core i7 640UM.

Many people confuse the fact that the power Core i7 640UM 80% higher than that of his predecessor, that is 18W instead of 10W SU9600, but it must be remembered that within the CPU Core i7 640UM, also known as Arrandale, a graphics engine that can not affect its power consumption. Also, an inexperienced user may disappoint nominal frequency of the new processor: 1.2GHz instead of 1.6GHz processor SU9600. However, this processor, as well as other Intel processors series Core i7, can be accelerated by a regime Turbo, and the frequency will increase up to 2.26GHz. Probably, with significantly increased power consumption, but this mode is not turned on until the user connects a laptop to a wall outlet or do not get it to work with maximum efficiency.

The conclusion is: in principle, the new Intel mobile processors is quite good, and those who wait on the laptop long life and high computing power, perhaps we should wait till release notebooks on the platform Calpella.
