Found this in the Asahi Shimbun iht.com   I think this has been posted as somehow being counter to what PTSC has for IP.  To me I see just the opposite.  I see higher clock speeds, core architectures and lower power consumption as hitting the PTSC /TPL bullseye.  See excerpt and link below and please reply with comments. 

Many executives in the industry say Intel is still recovering from a strategic wrong turn it made when the company pushed its chips to extremely high clock speeds — the ability of a processor to calculate more quickly. That obsession with speed at any cost left the company behind its competitors in shifting to low-power alternatives.

Now Intel is coming back. Although the chip maker led in the speed race for many years, the company has in recent years shifted its focus to low-power microprocessors that gain speed by breaking up each chip into multiple computing "cores." In its new 45-nanometer generation, Intel will gain the freedom to seek either higher performance or substantially lower power while increasing the number of cores per chip.
