NEW DELHI: Intel Corporation has announced seven new mobile processors built

on Intel's 0.13-micron fabrication process. Intel has now driven its entire

mobile processor product line to the industry's most advanced process

technology. Smaller chip geometries, enabled by this advanced chip making

process, result in lower power consumption and smaller size while enabling

higher levels of performance.

The three new Low Voltage and Ultra Low Voltage Intel Pentium III processors

- M and an Ultra Low Voltage mobile Intel Celeron processor, at speeds up to 866

MHz, offer increased performance and the world's lowest power consumption for

the ultra-portable mobile PC market segment. For value notebooks, Intel launched

three mobile Celeron processors at speeds up to 1.20 GHz.

Systems based on the new mobile processors will be available from leading

computer makers worldwide including Compaq, Fujitsu, Hewlett Packard, IBM, MEI,

NEC, Sharp Electronics and Toshiba.

"Intel's mobile processor family is leading the industry in the next

generation process technology conversion by being the first product line using

0.13-micron in all market segments," said Anand Chandrasekher, vice

president and general manager of Intel's Mobile Platforms Group. "The

mobile Pentium III processor-M family offers higher performing and lower - power

processors for every mobile PC form factor from the sleekest, mini-notebooks to

the most powerful new notebook designs."

The mobile Pentium III processor-M family feature architectural enhancements

including support of Enhanced Intel SpeedStep technology that can automatically

switch between Maximum Performance Mode and Battery Optimized Mode, providing

the best balance of performance and low power consumption. The Deeper Sleep mode

provides a power reduction from previous low power sleep states to help extend

battery life by 3/4th reaching power levels as low as two tenths of a

watt or less.
