Intel Arrandale 32+45nm to have a 35W TDP

@ 2009/05/04
The official number is 35W for the dual core 32nm CPU and its 45nm IGP graphics. This is far from being cool but its not that bad either. At the same time, the Calpella two chip platform will offer a 38 percent area saving over the Montevina platform, which probably means that notebooks could become smaller and thinner.

To paint a better picture, a T9400 Core 2 Duo at 2.54GHz has the same 35W TDP, while T9600 at 2.66GHz can maintain 25W TDP.

Interesting... and is completely wrong. Intel lists the T9600 at the identical 35W TDP.

Found a nice PDF file... GM45 is between 9-12TDP, and built on a 65nm process. Shrinking it to 45nm will further lower that range. Also have read that Intel has doubled the number of IGP transistors used...
