Anything around the corner for super low power CPUs

[almoststew1990]

I'm about to get a ultra portable laptop with a Pentium N4200 or N5000. These are quite old CPUs now, is there anything new around the corner in the world of super low power CPUs (they're all 6 watts ish)

Arm chips run Windows 10 now - Seems to be all about those now

Apparently we should be seeing low power intel 10nm laptops and notebooks any day now. https://www.techradar.com/news/intel-ice-lake

Ice Lake Y series. Down to 9w.

It's not just about the CPU - you need to take display, GPU, ram, etc. power usage into account as well. Look at Intel's Project Athena.

I didn't know that but I am looking to spend £250 to £300 (or less) which is quite different to the $999 Samsung!

I might sit and wait to see if the low end 10nm chips appear - the i3u-class CPUs will also probably be too expensive.

I don't think you are about to get a ultra portable laptop. Unless second-hand.
