"SDP", not TDP (still 11.5W), "Limited Volumes" - these are halo binned products designed to let Intel say "look, we can do this too, honest". The failure of Windows on tablet form factors is a major worry for Intel for this line of products. And the price - you won't be seeing these chips in a future Nexus 7, that's for sure.

I think price is a major worry...

Sounds like Intel's style to me, if they can't make the goals, they will just 'tweak' the goalposts. :P Blind analysts who can't tell a L3 cache from their left nipple are just going to eat it up.

The price is also going to be more attractive to actual manufacturers I'm sure, Intel will offer lucrative engineering deals or make deals with existing partners. They won't admit it but they are in a race to the bottom.

"The diea is"

The what now?

The new chip sits on a QFP? :P

SDP eh?

Pretty sure this is squarely aimed at low-volume, high priced, high margin halo products like the the Surface Pro and the ultra slim/light laptops Sony have made for years. The kind of thing OEMs like to build as a showcase to build the brand rather than actually ship millions of.

Charlie has one of his rants on this.
