MUMBAI, INDIA: Chip giant Intel, which makes processors for personal computers, on Monday introduced new low-power chips for laptops, which it hopes, would help the PC makers offer ultraportable laptops — less than an inch thick and weighing just 2 to 5 pounds, with better performance.

Intel said the new Core processors based on Intel’s 32 nanometer (nm) technology manufacturing, are more than 32 per cent smaller and deliver more than 32 per cent better performance, all in a lightweight, sleek design.

These new processors also reduce power consumption more than 15 per cent, resulting in great battery life, Intel said in a press release.

“Consumers crave laptops that offer style and performance, and the new 2010 Intel Core Ultra-Low Voltage processors for ultra-thin laptops delivers both, in one sleek design,” said Mooly Eden, vice president and general manager of the PC Client Group at Intel.

“Intel’s leadership in 32nm high-k metal gate process technology, combined with breakthrough architecture and design has enabled thinner, lighter and faster notebooks than previous models, with terrific battery life. Not only are laptops becoming ultraportable, but with the new processors inside, users will see faster response times and less waiting,” he added.
