Centrino. It's a mobile, low power processor. Like it's been said , it's not a p4 mobile. It has several built in features, like Wifi.
About flowrates.
You dont need huge amouts of flowrate to make a system work. Good example, Aquarius II. I wouldnt buy it, but i know who did. And the thing works within acceptable limits (ok, a bit high), as far as temperature goes. Just dont overclock  .
Again, lots of users over here (Europe) use AquaComputer, Innovatek, and similar systems. Shipped mostly with 1046, and if you check Joe's test of the innovatek kit (as a reference point) you can see it doesnt fall behind larger (and with larger pump) systems.

However, i do agree with you on the point that 3GPH is exceptionally low. But we know nothing of how they are dissipating the heat. Or more details on the pump. Or even how is the waterblock, internal designs.
Without more info, how can we take conclusions properly?
Anyway, the article is talking about working prototypes, IMO. Probably proof of concept. Not real, finished, comercial product.

I know all about flow rates. Been experimenting with it for 3 years. I been down to 10GPH with decent results. Problem is it was a 170GPH pump in that system that is capable of creating head pressure. I have no idea what your point is about dissipating heat. I thought it was pretty clear they are going to use a water block of sometype (being it is a water pump) and a radiator of somekind (no other way to "dissipate" heat in a water cooling loop without some extra help). You could try and stuff this in a one cooler setup like that failed all-in-one unit BUT if CPU's are going to keep getting HOTTER then this whole no overclocking argument is simply irrellevant. The heat we creat by overclocking today is the same amount of heat going to be on the future processors at stock. It is going to take MORE cooling capability in the future (from what they are saying anyway) not the same cooling capability as today. I see no way this current 3gph pump is going to effectivly cool a CPU running at 75+ watts. ANYTHING you add to the loop is going to stop the flow. A water block of ANY type and a radiator of ANY type. Even if the rad had one round copper tube and the water block was completely wide open with no channels. Just the connections would kill off the flow.
Sure 3GPH can in theory cool 75+watts, but how can you do it in reality. The water needs to be cooled somehow and there has to be a heat exchanger on the CPU of somekind. Both of which will need more than a 3gph pump IMO. Maybe a pump that after everyting is already hooked up got 3GPH, but not a 3GPH pump BEFORE the rest was hooked up.
These guys are scientists though. What do I know. :shrug:
