One challenge for Intel and PC makers alike in the designing the chip into notebooks is its heat generation and power consumption. But Intel says those considerations have not been major stumbling blocks, even though it has doubled maximum chip speeds in a year.

Computer makers have managed to squeeze the 1GHz chip into "thin and light" notebooks, said Don MacDonald, director of marketing for Intel's mobile products group.


I don't know why the 1 GHz mobile Pentium III should even belong in Thin-n-Light notebooks, given its high TDP. Maybe these are the notebooks the YUK Register are referring to. As far as I know, however, the 1 GHz mobile Pentium III belongs only in full-size notebooks.
