Merom chips for notebooks are due to hit the shelves halfway through 2006.
Intel's new notebook chip, designed with power saving in mind, will use a maximum of five watts and an additional super-low Meron chip will consume less than half a watt.
Presently, Pentium Ms consume almost 22 watts so the new development heralds a dramatic advance in power saving devices.
Intel will also produce Conroe chips for desktops, which will consume up to 65 watts in comparison to the current Pentium 4s that use almost 95 watts.
Woodcrest chips consuming 80 watts will replace the current 110-watt consuming Xeon chips in servers.
PC users on the move who currently find their battery running out on long journeys will no doubt welcome these new advances.
