Or, how about, "This may extend battery life for mobile devices and enable smaller, more powerful products."

They (Intel) sound suspiciously vague in that statement. How about the lack of the use of the words while and/or, or ...

"More than 20 percent improvement in transistor switching speed or more than a five-fold reduction in transistor current leakage."

Which begs the question: Was that 5X at unity clock (ie, before squandering it on a 20% gain in speed), or could it have been at sub-unity, as so many power saving strategies prove to be?
