During the [IDF](http://www.engadget.com/tag/IDF/) keynote today in San Francisco, Intel demoed a solar-powered PC running Windows based on its [long-teased Haswell microarchitecture](http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/16/leaked-intel-slides-reveal-8-core-cpus-avx-instruction-set/) -- complete with labcoats and LOLcats. As a refresher, Haswell is based on the same 22nm technology as Ivy Bridge, reduces power by 20x compared to current designs, and will help Ultrabooks achieve *ten days* of connected standby by 2013. Intel's CEO Paul Otellini mentioned that Haswell will further accelerate Ultrabook innovation with the help of the company's revolutionary [3D tri-gate transistors](http://www.engadget.com/2011/05/04/intel-will-mass-produce-22nm-3d-transistors-for-all-future-cpus/).
