the pentium "D" is based on Prescott technology and is inherently powerhungry and burning hot... the Yonah processors (formerly Pentium M) are a totally different animal and don't devour energy anything like their antiquated D cousins.

the future Intel processors on the roadmap are all derived from the Yonah/M chips, Prescott can die the quiet death it deserves soon... it was always a lousy upgrade to Northwood anyways..
