Thanks Stephane. I just blogged about this chip on the front page.

Paperback information is wrong; Asus Origami will integrate a Core Duo U2500 (1,2 GHZ, ULV, 533 MHZ front Bus).

Bad news – The story about the Core Duo processor was not true. I had it confirmed as false today by Samsung Germany. Like others though, I don’t think i’d really need the extra power. It would be nice, but i’d rather have the battery life.

There is always something new to wait for isn’t there… Nice pic of the Newton Messagepad 2100 too!

The heat/power consuption will only increase significantly if you’re running some power hungry application. In general use what will hapen is that it would respond more quickly and then drop back into a sleep mode. The peak power useage would increase (depending on the chip), but the average would stay roughly the same.

The dual core would likely generate a LOT more heat than the Celeron. Just a gut feeling.

I agree Kevin, I have not come to a situation were I needed more power from my Q1. If I need power I turn to my desktop. To me, the Q1 complements my desktop.
