Las Vegas: Intel Monday unveiled a new line of laptop chips that run at higher speeds and use less power. 
The Penryn chips combine the company's Core 2 Duo processors with a 45-nanometer manufacturing process that provide laptops with better performance and improved battery life, said Mooly Eden, vice president and general manager of Intel Mobile Platforms Group.
Intel announced the new chips at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, where 140,000 industry professionals are attending the world's biggest technology trade show.
The Penryn-based Core 2 Duo processors have an advanced power management state called Deep Power Down Technology, which reduces a processor's power when not functional. Penryn processors also feature cache and design improvements that boost their performance compared with earlier 65nm processors, delivering better video performance and graphics processing.
Apple is expected to announce a new Macbook laptop using the new chips next week at the MacWorld Expo.
