Exactly my thoughts, system poweruse will probably be lower, but the package poweruse wil be up, just not up as much as the system power will be down because of no VRM's on the mobo.
I suppose this will also allow mobo makers to lower the cost of the motherboard, and furthermore, it will probably mean that the problem of blown up VRM's on cheap motherboards will be history because there will be nothing left to blow up!

Well alrighty then, that answer's my next thought where is the VRM gonna be.
So you mean that my sweet 8-phase active-swiching/load-balancing digital PWM power circuitry is on chip,

then will that lend to "limited" overclocking ?

I mean, Intel did a great job on my M/B, especially on the killer 1866 Ram divider, but I'd hate to move on only to find that there's no more hope of hitting high 4.8-5.x+ CPU speed's.
FWIW, it was by no mean's easy for me to get there, sure I didn't have to soldier, but it took a LOT of trial and error with this "engineering" BIOS to get a good O/C.

Hell when I left[THAT's Why} the Gigabyte GA-UD3R, I couldn't get sht for O/Cing, and it was with my same Q6600 that did really well on the conroe865PE, so yea it's always a crap shoot, but that's what the $30 Warranty was for on this Z68/i7, Fry it/ they Buy it Lol.
Hope it stay's that way, Fast AND Stable

well, assuming they spec it like the slides, you'll have 20*25A of power available through those iVRM's. I suppose that'll be more than enough for normal overclocking lols

Yeah, considering that per iVRM. I read nothing there saying CPUs won't have more than just one cell. ;)
It reads as if there are 20 cells in its entirety. So wouldn't that be a max output of something along the lines of factors larger than that?

Yeah, if you look closely at the pic with the VRM, you see 3 empty pads of the same size, and seemingly the same positioning. Was already wondering wether those would be for higher end models or something. However, it would be weird if they make the VRM's able to supply 2000Amps lol.

Edit: Unless they intend to bring out the core i1337 furnace edition ofc!

Edit 2: Found some new evidence suggesting the iVRM's are a real feature. They're talking about overclocking with haswell, stating: "programmable voltage via iVR". Interesting!

That's kinda cool, the 300A Celeron day's!! What's interisting is mine was on the Abit BX7 Rev2 and O/C'd at 928 Mhz
Using the Flip Chip 1 Ghz, netted a far more gain in performance.
Teaser :
Can you guess WHY ?

My 2600k still has loads of life in it... dont see the need for any upgrades fror a while!
Dont even overclock this anymore, its fast enough stock!
