1Early indications are that the Core i7 will offer either more processing
performance per watt compared with earlier products (estimated at around 20%), or lower power consumption per unit of processing performance than its predecessors. This is great news for the embedded computing community, where the talk is not merely of performance, but performance per watt. The acronym on everyone’s lips is ‘SWaP’ – Size, Weight and Power.

There was much more about the Core i7 that excited the embedded market. The significance of Intel’s Core i7 to embedded computing is explained in this white paper.
