1.6ghz and 2W TDP... WOW!!! :D
btw it's Poulsbo, not Paulsbo :)
(don't worry, you aren't the only ones to make the mistake)
Apparently, the Poulsbo IGP will only consume about 120mW during H.264 decode. So you could have a complete HD decoding, general purpose HTPC system that only consumes a few watts of power.
Actually you could probably get it down to 2.5Watts total. It can then be powered over USB :D
Why is there such a price difference between the Z530 (1.6GHz - $95) and the Z540 (1.86GHz - $160) ? Is it because Intel are finding it hard to get chips that can hit 1.86GHz, the fact that they just whack a premium on the top chip or... ?
