Will it come in a laptop?

Right now it seems to be a research item....from the article:

*******************************EXCERPT**************************************

Next year, Intel plans to provide software developers more than a hundred of experimental chips for development of new software apps.

So that it can spend 99.9% of its time, waiting for the bozo at the keyboard to try to remember which key he was supposed to hit next...?

Very few CPUs do much, and they're in servers and scientific machines. 99% of the computers in the world are private or business user boxes, which spend (see above) 99.9% of their time waiting for the user to hit a key or move a mouse.

So, no.

I know, you were joking, referring to the impractical heat and size; I just wanted to add the silliness factor, too.

Laptop? Sure. 15 min. Runtime on the battery though. And that’s in extreme power save mode.

Hopefully it’ll come in a refreshed Mac Pro...I have two G5’s, one a Quad, and they’re getting creaky and old!

Get the power consumption under control--lower-- and be able to produce the chips in a production wafer fabrication area and price it at the current price of an Intel i7 processor--$279.99 and you can put it in any PC you want. It would probably be a smokin' hot game machine.

It doesn't have to be practical just needs people willing to buy one.
