Oregon calls it 'Micro-lite', Husqvarna calls it 'Pixel'

Simply means that a smaller bite takes less power.  Or a saw with the same power will feel like it has a little more.  It came on my Husq 353 and I have been happy with it.  Oregon 95, Husq H30.  Baileys NK.

These are all .325 pitch, .050 gauge, but there may be other combinations, now that we are seeing more of the 1/4" pitch and .043 chains with the battery powered saws.

Thinner bar flexes a bit more, and thinner chain means that it is not as robust (not recommended for larger saws or bars).  NK chain should be run with a NK bar, and vice-versa.

Similar to the narrow kerf circular saw blades that they began selling for table saws many years ago.
