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.
