Documents from Intel that The Inquirer has seen confirm that the future 90 nano chip will dissipate over 103 watts.
According to the documents, Prescott taped out in late May and it had originally estimated the original power requirements lower than the reality. But, the documents indicate, there are no changes to Prescott frequencies and Intel is still on track to introduce a 3.4 GHz Prescott in Q4 of this year. It did, however, have to revise its FMB guidance that ended up in revision 1.5, as this was the only way to make all Prescott enabled motherboards support the chip.
