BANGALORE: Dell today announced that the latest versions of the Intel Pentium

M processor will now reside in Dell's corporate and consumer wireless-ready

notebooks. Available immediately, both the Latitude D800, Dell Precision M60

mobile workstation and the Inspiron 8600 can be configured with the fastest

version of the new processors, the Intel Pentium M processor 755, featuring

2.0GHz processor speed, 2MB Level 2 cache and 400MHz front side bus. A broad

range of other Dell notebooks can be configured with a variety of the new

processors, including the Intel Pentium M processor 745, Intel Pentium M

processor 735 and the Intel Celeron M processor 330.

With the new processors, Intel is introducing a 3-digit processor numbering

sequence announced in April this year. Processor numbers categorized in

sequences are a way to make it easier for consumers to differentiate processors

within each of Intel's processor families. A higher number indicates more

processor features, more of a specific processor feature, or changes in

architecture.

"Businesses and individual consumers are choosing notebooks over desktop

computer systems with increasing frequency. Notebooks allow users the

flexibility to work outside traditional office environments on self-determined

schedules, and can actually extend the typical work week by a couple of

hours," said Leslie Fiering, lead mobile analyst, Gartner.

"Increased versatility and the potential productivity gains benefit both

employees and their employers," he added. According to a study 'The

Positive Payback of Notebooks over Desktops' by Gartner, while notebooks can

cost more to purchase and maintain than desktops, the premium quickly becomes an

investment if the notebook enables the customer to extend their work week by as

little as two hours.
