Yeah, it’s all next year now…that means that you probably won’t be seeing any new TR or UX designs until then.  :?

No mention of the 7x3 (ULV) chip in that article.

True. The ULV chips almost never get any press even though I consider them to be the gem of Intel’s offerings. They offer crazy good performance at such low voltages and yet they get no press.  :cry:

Probably because the media writers do not understand the over-achieving potential of the ULV.  They consider it a lesser CPU because of the seemingly lower clock.
