Re: Product looking for a market

These aren't for your standard laptops. These chips are targeted to thin devices like tablets and phones that have previously built with ARM chips. Besides, i3's and i5's require a lot more circuitry than these. At the very least, you'll need to slap on a PCH for it to be useful, the smallest of which guzzles 15W on top of whatever the CPU needs. These can be just wired to the various ports and peripherals directly (Might need an isolator or a resistor network depending on what its connecting to).
