Intel will begin rolling out motherboards next month that support Remote Wake technology — the ability for a computer to be turned on from sleep mode remotely. Applications that have already been designed around this technology include PC-based phone service and content delivery.

In short, it gives Intel and its partners a powerful sales pitch: You can save money by leaving your computer in sleep mode until needed.
