18-35 watts is way out of the ballpark. We need something more like 1 watt, so we can put it in a small box with no fan. Sorry, Intel - you still don't get it.

In this article (click here) Jim Turley looked at Intel's embedded processor offerings. What do you think?

35 W? You are smoking something. (Or you dropped a decimal, twice. smiling

2.5W...still 'way outside your margin, but not the 18-35W--that's laptop range. Unless you dropped that aforementioned decimal...but methinks perhaps your ARM tattoo is showing.

Hey, that's good!

Hey, double-digit wattage is good for Intel! Sure, it's not for everybody, but given the arcane complexity of the x86 instruction set, it's an improvement. It's sure a lot better than the company's "non-embedded" x86 processors.

What I'm saying is looking at the product link on the Intel site, there's an Atom N270 with a Max TDP listed at 2.5W. That's the thermal design target, right?

Double-digits, sure, but with a '.' in between. smiling

MikPel's 18-35W was a targeted swipe at Celerons, (Conroe-L class, looking at the numbers on Wikipedia), which misses Atoms entirely. I followed the link you posted, Jim, and selected the embedded family to check. If s/he needs sub-watt, then certainly it's still too high, but 1.5x, not 15x.
