As for SoC, i’ve been calling it Single-On-Chip design for years. I’m referring to system-on-chip, yes.

Still confusing though.

“single on-chip design. (SOC)”
Doesn’t SoC mean System on a Chip or is single on-chip a different thing?

Umm… How are the power optimization features in an x86 CPU going to do ANYTHING for Windows RT which only runs on ARM CPUs??? Very confusing sentence.

Actually you do know that screen-off idle in the Ultrabooks are 3-4W. The 17W Sandy/Ivy Bridge chip has C7(that is, the lowest power idle state) power that’s 2.2W. So even cutting that to basically zero will be significant. But there will be focus on other parts as well. Like the PCI Express, SSD, chipset, etc.
