Haswell slide in an Atom story? Is that right? AFAIK Haswell is Intel's next mainstream x86 platform, and bears no relation to the Clover Trail SoC platform...? Or is this a feature that will also appear on Haswell, and there just isn't a decent Atom slide that shows it off?

Aye indeed not a decent Clover Trail slide, the power state mentioned in the story is shared between the two new platforms. Don't forget Intel will also be targeting Haswell for the tablet market too and, I suspect it's this power state that may have caused the delay on the Surface Pro release, just a thought.
