[Tech] Nuovi processori Mobile Pentium da Intel

I nuovi Pentium M dovrebbero garantire ai computer laptop la stessa autonomia della precedente serie pur offrendo prestazioni nettamente superiori:

The Pentium M processors are Intel's first mobile processors built with a cutting-edge manufacturing technology that allows features as small as 90 billionths of a meter to be placed on the chip.



They are also the first to be sold under a new branding scheme in which Intel's chips are numbered like car models instead of labeled by their raw speed in gigahertz.



Twenty-eight notebook computer systems based on the new chip were released on Monday, with around 50 systems to be ready for sale by mid-July, said Anand Chandrasekhar, Intel's head of mobile computing.



The new chip opens up advanced applications to notebook computer users like full-screen high-definition video playing and mobile videoconferencing, while keeping the PC relatively light, Intel said.

The new processors are available at clock speeds ranging from 1.7 gigahertz to 2.0 gigahertz.



The 1.7 GHz Pentium M costs $294 each, the 1.8 GHz processor $423; and the 2.0 GHz $637, all in quantities of 1,000.



Major notebook PC manufacturers including Dell Inc, Hewlett-Packard Co, Sony Corp and Toshiba Corp will introduce notebook PCs based on the new Pentium M processors, Intel said.
