New Processors From Intel Complete Transition of Its Entire Mobile Product Line to 0.13-Micron Process Technology.Business Editors/High Tech Writers 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.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 21, 2002 Industry's Most Advanced Technology Boosts Performance and Lowers Power Consumption 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 seven new mobile processors built on Intel's industry leading 0.13-micron fabrication fabrication (fab´rikā´sh  n),n the construction or making of a restoration. process. Intel has now driven its entire mobile processor product line to the industry's most advanced process technology. Smaller chip geometries, enabled by this advanced chip making process, result in lower power consumption and smaller size while enabling higher levels of performance. The three new Low Voltage Low voltage is an electrical engineering term that broadly identifies safety considerations of an electricity supply system based on the voltage used. While different definitions exist for the exact voltage range covered by "low voltage", the most commonly used ones include "mains and Ultra Low Voltage Intel(R) Pentium Pentium Family of microprocessors developed by Intel Corp. Introduced in 1993 as the successor to Intel's 80486 microprocessor, the Pentium contained two processors on a single chip and about 3.3 million transistors. (R) III processors - M and an Ultra Low Voltage mobile Intel(R) Celeron A family of lower-cost Pentium chips from Intel. The first Celerons in 1998 were Pentium II chips without an L2 cache. In 1999, models included a 128KB cache, which increased performance. (R) processor, at speeds up to 866 MHz (MegaHertZ) One million cycles per second. It is used to measure the transmission speed of electronic devices, including channels, buses and the computer's internal clock. A one-megahertz clock (1 MHz) means some number of bits (16, 32, 64, etc. , offer increased performance and the world's lowest power consumption(1) for the ultra-portable mobile PC market segment. For value notebooks, Intel launched three mobile Celeron processors at speeds up to 1.20 GHz. Systems based on the new mobile processors will be available from leading computer makers worldwide including Compaq (Compaq Computer Corporation, Houston, TX, www.compaq.com) Compaq was the leading PC manufacturer when it was acquired by HP in 2002. Founded in 1982 by Rod Canion, Jim Harris and Bill Murto, one year later the company shipped 53,000 PC-compatible COMPAQ Portables, resulting in $111 , Fujitsu (company) Fujitsu - A Japanese elecronics corporation. Fujitsu owns ICL, Amdahl Corporation, and DMR. Home USA, Japan. , Hewlett Packard, IBM (International Business Machines Corporation, Armonk, NY, www.ibm.com) The world's largest computer company. IBM's product lines include the S/390 mainframes (zSeries), AS/400 midrange business systems (iSeries), RS/6000 workstations and servers (pSeries), Intel-based servers (xSeries) , MEI, NEC (NEC Corporation, Tokyo, www.nec.com, www.necus.com) An electronics conglomerate known in the U.S. for its monitors. In Japan, it had the lion's share of the PC market until the late 1990s (see PC 98). NEC was founded in Tokyo in 1899 as Nippon Electric Company, Ltd. , Sharp Electronics and Toshiba. "Intel's mobile processor family is leading the industry in the next generation process technology conversion by being the first product line using 0.13-micron in all market segments," said Anand Chandrasekher, vice president and general manager of Intel's Mobile Platforms Group. "The mobile Pentium See Pentium M. III processor-M family offers higher performing and lower-power processors for every mobile PC form factor from the sleekest, mini-notebooks to the most powerful new notebook designs." Increased Capabilities for Mobile Processors Intel's 0.13-micron fabrication process is the industry's most advanced, high-volume manufacturing technology. Intel's mobile processors built on 0.13-micron consume up to 40 percent less power, are 30 percent smaller and 20 percent faster than mobile processors built on Intel's 0.18-micron process. The mobile Pentium III processor-M family feature architectural enhancements including support of Enhanced Intel SpeedStep(TM) technology that can automatically switch between Maximum Performance Mode and Battery Optimized Mode, providing the best balance of performance and low power consumption. The Deeper Sleep mode provides a power reduction from previous low power sleep states to help extend battery life -- reaching power levels as low as two tenths of a watt watt [for James Watt], abbr. W, unit of power, or work done per unit time, equal to 1 joule per second. It is used as a measure of electrical and mechanical power. or less. New Processor Specifications And Pricing
