San Jose: Chip maker Intel has introduced new Intel Core processors, extending the availability of its Intel Core processor family to more ultra-thin laptops. Based on Intel's 32 nanometer (nm) technology, the processors are claimed to be more than 32 percent smaller and deliver more than 32 percent better performance.
The chips use Intel's Turbo Boost technique to automatically adjusting performance to the workload. They also support dual threading and high definition video. In tandem with the processors, Intel rolled out its Mobile 5 Series chipset designed for the ultra-thin systems. Acer, Asus, Lenovo and MSI are among notebook makers who said they will design systems that will be available starting in June with the new chips. "Not only are laptops becoming ultraportable, but with the new processors inside, users will see faster response times and less waiting," said Mooly Eden, Vice President and General Manager of the PC Client Group at Intel.
Intel has been driving the concept it calls Consumer Ultra-Low Voltage (CULV) notebooks as a tier of products above netbooks. In a report in early May, iSuppli said the new CULV designs should grow 93 percent to 14.5 million units in 2010. Overall, sales of notebook PCs should rise a whopping 25.5 percent this year to 209.5 million units driven by growth in netbooks and the CULV systems.
