Intel Corporation has showed off a new design for powerful, energy-efficient processors.

The new chip for server computers, called Woodcrest, would offer an 80 percent performance improvement and require 35 percent less power; the Conroe chip for desktop computers, which will be released later this year, will offer 40 percent performance improvement and require 40 percent less power. The foundation for the chips is derived from the company’s popular Pentium M chip for notebook computers.
