C, <I am sure it could go alot higher than 1.6Ghz if they crank the voltage up.> Banias has been designed from the ground-up to be a low-power mobile processor. I doubt you can increase the speed of that chip simply by jacking up the voltage. Tenchusatsu

Constantine, I am looking forward to getting a laptop based off of the 1.0+GHz low voltage Banias part. I'd like it to have 4+ hours of battery life and weigh <4 lbs. With such low power as Banias boasts (the low voltage one should be much lower), I would hope to get away with no fan. If they can cram in a DVD recorder (should be common in 6-9 months, no?), I'd buy it in a heart beat. If IPC estimates are correct, it should run close to a 1.6+GHz Northwood. Fast enough for me in such a small form factor. If the price is right (<$1500), then that may be the solution I am looking for. wbmw
