Consumer Ultra-Low Voltage (CULV) is a computing platform developed by Intel.[1][2] It has been estimated that this market could reach 10 million CULV laptops shipped within 2009.[3] Competing platforms are the VIA C7®-M ULV, AMD Yukon notebook platform, and graphic chips from the NVidia GeForce line within the "ION platform".[4] Some of the lowest power using processors for the ultra thin CULV category may be only a few watts more than the Intel Atom, which is rated at no more than 2.5 W. Because of their low energy use and low heat output, CULV enables very thin computer systems, and long battery life in notebook computers.

While the first processors in this category were single core, (such as the SU3500), newer CULV processors are dual core (e.g., the SU9600. They are all based on the Intel Core 2 architecture, but the ultra-low voltage versions use 5.5 W, more than the Intel Atom but a fraction of the dual-core mainstream Intel mobile chips rated at 25 and 35 watts, and they come in a small 22 mm chip package.

CULV Laptops

  • The MSI X-slim 340 uses the SU3500 processor, and the higher end version starts at around 1000 USD (090425).
  • HP's Pavilion dv2 laptop is powered by AMD's competing Athlon "Neo" chipset. [5]
  • The Asus UL series is a collection of thin and light laptops using Intel's dual core CULV processors, characterized by very long (12 hour) battery life and a stylish design.[6]
