The Register (www.theregister.co.uk) has some Palomino stories which bascially say that
1) It will have SSE support
2) It will use a pure form of silicon which will DRASTICALLY improve its thermal conductivity. The people who supply the material said that a 1GHz CPU was 35 degrees C cooler than a standard 1GHz chip.
Just imagine a ~20% reduction in power requirements, much lower operating temperatures and faster CPUs. Let's just hope these rumors are true.
