We finally nabbed a video of the first
Moorestown silicon -- a mashup of Intel's
Lincroft and Langwell chips and a third party power management chip -- slapped together and running on a validation board inside of an Intel lab. It's nothing like the form factor of that
crazy MID mockup Intel's been showing. Nevertheless, first silicon out of fab is pretty significant, especially when it promises 10x the power savings of
Menlow (made famous by the Atom CPU) which Moorestown replaces. Full video after the break.
Update: Viddler's having capacity issues today -- try refreshing if the video doesn't load the first time or try this
direct link.

I don't see no video after the break.
hmm.. so you see the video? ;)
"I don't see no video"
So, you do see it?
edit: tjay beat me to it
edit#2: wait, you can't edit engadget posts.
Hahaha, brilliant.
I think if figured it out just by reading the article...
You can't "edit" engadget posts... you have to "Update" them...
Update: Only editors can do that.

What's with all these queer names?
Lincroft
Langwell
Moorestown
Menlow
Anyone feel like explaining?
Moorestown is a suburb of Philadelphia in New Jersey.
That's how I feel. I wish the article would gives some small specs on the chips mentioned so you can understand the differences.
...not to be confused with Morristown, NJ, which is farther North.
That's 10x the power savings at idle. That's important, but the power usage relative to how much work is performed is a much more interesting and relevant number.
Is this Intel's competitor to Tegra based devices? And was I the only one who needed subtitles and certain points? lol
"native 2-d" - from the video.
Um, don't they need 3-D?
Hey, look at the CRT monitors at the "secret lab", lol, they must have great fundings.. hahaha
Intel 10x power savings is misleading. They are working
to reduce their riculous "deep sleep" power, but this will
not address their high active power. If you actually use the
device, the battery will die quickly. Intel - please clarify
this point and stop misleading everyone!
