So the same as all of their "news" then?
To be fair fan death IS real. It just takes about 70-80 years to take effect.
and it certainly hasn't ended with Obama. He has extended most of the policies of Bush, but seems to get a free pass from most of the people who were up in arms about Bush.
A shocking revelation
Ivy Bridge on 22nm consumes less power than Sandy Bridge on 32nm when idle, according to Anandtech. Only very slightly less, but still less. Those differences will obviously pale in comparison to the claimed 20x reductions from architecture changes in Haswell though.
If you look back through all of Intels die shrinks they pretty much always have lower idle power consumption than their predecessor, although you are right to point out the load power consumption is where the biggest difference is seen.
Intel is working on major improvements in idle power consumption though, because they know that is their weakest area at the moment.
For their next big architecture (Haswell), they are claiming a 20x reduction in idle power consumption compared to Sandy Bridge. Then another year after that Intel will have a die-shrink of Haswell (called Broadwell) using 14nm, which you would expect to reduce power consumption even further.
Those kind of improvements will bring them a lot closer to ARM in power consumption, while still having far superior performance.
