Intel slips in new sub-9W Yonah

The dual-core 65nm Yonah-based U2400 features a 1.06GHz clock frequency, a 533MHz front-side bus and 2MB of shared L2 cache. Intel has not released TDP specifics of the new processor, but the TDP of the 1.2GHz Core Duo U2500 was a mere 9 Watts. During normal operation the U2500 uses less than a Watt.

It’s incredible that the chip operates at only one watt during normal use. It’s not going to deliver world records in terms of speed but it should offer better battery life for whatever notebook they happen to be thrown in.
