The x7-Z8700 and x7-Z8750 have RCPs at $37, can address 4x more memory, have twice as many cores and consume 2W.

If Intel made a 16-core version running on 8W, I'd want a laptop using it.

x7-Z8700 8GB, i5-7Y54 16GB.

Yeah, but each core of that i5 is significantly faster.

Intel invented a new metric, SDP, for these atoms. 2W is SDP < TDP. Cpubenchmark.net says typical TDP of x7-Z8700 is 4W.

For i5-7Y54 it’s 4.5W but can be configured to 3.5W @ 600 MHz.
