Next-next-gen. Intel processors will provide 24 hours of battery life for your laptop

Intel is promising a lot for their 2013 range of processors. Not only should you expect speed gains but you should be ready for battery life in laptops like Ultrabooks that last you all day (24 hours) on a single charge. Intel made these claims at their own private IDF 2011 event in San Francisco, California.
Intel's Haswell processors are said to offer 20x the power efficiency of the current Intel Sandy Bridge processors
The 2013 range of processors will be code-named Haswell, this year’s processors are named Sandy Bridge and the 2012 chips are going to be Ivy Bridge. With the Haswell family of processors Intel will introduce a new 22-nanometer 3D-transistor architecture that will help the chips take up less space and be more efficient in power consumption. With the advancements in 3D-transistor design Intel claims they will be able to offer 24 hours of operating battery life and 10 days of standby.
Don’t believe that the proposed advancements in battery life are possible? Currently there are quite a few laptops with compact and portable designs that are designed to provide north of 10 hours of battery life and around 30 days of standby battery power. All of that is possible not because of the processor being as advanced efficiency wise as the Haswell chips are said to be, but because of powerful batteries. When the Haswell chips launch the 24 hours of battery life is a possibility if Intel is telling the truth about the efficiency projections for the processor class.
