Intel Encourages Hi-Tech Industry to Meet New EPA ENERGY STAR(R) Specification.Intel[R] Core[TM] 2 Duo Processors See Core Duo and Intel Core. to Enable PCs to Meet New Energy Efficiency Requirements SANTA CLARA Santa Clara, city, Cuba Santa Clara (sän`tä klä`rä), city (1994 est. pop. 217,000), capital of Villa Clara prov., central Cuba. , Calif. -- Highlighting its leadership and long history of delivering innovative energy-saving technologies and products, Intel Corporation (company) Intel Corporation - A US microelectronics manufacturer. They produced the Intel 4004, Intel 8080, Intel 8086, Intel 80186, Intel 80286, Intel 80386, Intel 486 and Pentium microprocessor families as well as many other integrated circuits and personal computer networking today announced its support for the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA EPA eicosapentaenoic acid. EPA abbr. eicosapentaenoic acid EPA, n.pr See acid, eicosapentaenoic. EPA, n. ) newly announced ENERGY STAR computer specifications. Intel plans to deliver microprocessors and other system components that will help enable PC and laptop Same as laptop computer. laptop - portable computer suppliers to deliver ENERGY STAR qualified systems when these new specifications go into effect in mid-2007. "Intel continues to work closely with the EPA and other worldwide organizations to develop and deliver energy-efficient technologies," said Rob Crooke, Intel vice president and business computing computing - computer group general manager. "The new Intel[R] Core[TM] 2 Duo processors will provide the high-performance and energy efficiency people want. The new ENERGY STAR specification provides a meaningful step forward in identifying more energy-efficient PCs." Encouraging adoption of this new ENERGY STAR program, Intel will work jointly with the EPA to provide energy efficiency design expertise to smaller system vendors, collectively referred to as the "channel," to help enable their targeted offerings to meet the specifications. This effort will culminate culminate, in astronomy, the maximum height in the sky reached by a celestial body on a given day. At the culminate the body is crossing the observer's celestial meridian and is said to be in upper transit. with publishing a white paper detailing a "recipe" system vendors can follow to best ensure their computers qualify. "As the driver of America's technology revolution, the innovative spirit of the computer industry is now powering our energy revolution," said EPA Administrator Stephen L. Johnson. "Through ENERGY STAR, President Bush and EPA are brightening our nation's future, and I applaud leaders like Intel for developing energy efficient computer technologies that are good for our environment and good for our wallets." Intel's accomplishments, furthering the energy efficiency of PCs, include providing processors for the first ENERGY STAR qualified PCs in 1992. More recently, the new Intel Core The latest generation of the Intel x86 family of CPUs. Core supersedes the 13-year run of the Pentium, which was introduced in 1993. It essentially represents the ninth generation of the x86 architecture, the first chip appearing in the IBM PC in 1981. Microarchitecture has spawned a host of products such as Intel Core 2 Duo processors that lead the industry in energy-efficient performance. The EPA's recognition of Intel's accomplishments in the area of energy efficiency includes special ENERGY STAR recognition awards in 2001 for developing the Instantly Available PC technology which reduced PC energy consumption by 71 percent, and in 2004 for significantly improving power supply efficiency. About the 2007 Revision of the ENERGY STAR Specification The newly published Version 4.0. Tier 1 specification for computers will go into effect on July 20, 2007 and will replace the Version 3.0, Tier 2 specification that has been in effect since July 2000. The new version is intended to continue to differentiate the market for energy-efficient computers and accelerate the market penetration Noun 1. market penetration - the extent to which a product is recognized and bought by customers in a particular market penetration - the act of entering into or through something; "the penetration of upper management by women" of energy-efficient technologies. Intel, the world leader in silicon innovation, develops technologies, products and initiatives to continually advance how people work and live.
