I think you are missing the even more important detail. These are all idle power consumption numbers. Intel is just telling us they've found a way to use less power when doing next to nothing. There's no claim you will see a similar magnitude improvement when rendering video or compiling a kernel. This feature is probably related to some kind of new feature in Windows 8 where tweets and emails would continue downloading even when the laptop is asleep with a low power status LED/display or sounds to notify the user. It is certainly not an indication we are going to start seeing i5 processors in cell phones in the next three years.
