BetaNews | New Intel Chips Promise Longer Battery Life

BetaNews | New Intel Chips Promise Longer Battery Life: "Intel said on Tuesday it had made changes to its manufacturing process that would allow for the production of processors that use very little power, and would extend battery life of mobile and small form factor devices.
To decrease power consumption of its chips, Intel had to improve the design of the transistor. Energy leaks from these transistors, even when in the off state waste electrical power. Through the new design process, engineers at Intel were able to reduce leakage by 1,000 times over the standard construction."
