When you think of bulk storage, you probably still think about hard drives, and that's fair enough; spinning rust still offers superior value in terms of price per gigabyte. When storage density is more important than value, though, solid-state drives win again. That's because there are SSDs like Micron's new ION...

When we're talking about microprocessors, "efficiency" is a two-way street. You can achieve efficiency by using very little power for the performance you're offering, or you can achieve efficiency by offering extremely high performance. Intel has taken the latter path, and it wants everyone to know that its approach...
