That title isn't a prediction, it's a recommendation.

Yesterday, Intel announced new CPUs that consume just 5.5W of power at peak load. These aren't the fastest processors on the block - the Core Duo tops at 1.2GHz, but a dual core CPU at that rate should be more than capable of doing the majority of tasks in your typical office.

Whether that machine is laptop or proper desktop is up to you. Although laptops are an ideal target for this sort of CPU, there is no reason why you couldn't use the CPU in a desktop machine. Asus currently provide the N4L-VM DH motherboard (review and review) that supports the Core Duo/Solo chips.
