HASWELL core I5: Performance Preview

Per cell....And by that picture it seems there will be 20 cells. Or 500Amps.

It doesnt work like this....

A single VRM is not enough for a single supply voltage and there are
several voltages.

For a given voltage several VRMs are necessary if conversion
efficency is the concern , as in this case.

You're confusing voltage regulation with power delivery. I have seen nothing that power delivery (high power MOSFETS) will be integrated into Haswell.

If you have evidence that I'm my understanding is incorrect I'm open to learning where my argument is "ludicrous".

You are absolutely correct.

Sticking with 1155 unless Haswell proves to be a worthwhile upgrade.
