New chip technology promises lighter and faster notebooks as well as a better battery life, says Intel.
The latest Core processor is based on Intel's 32 nanometer technology manufacturing and is more than 32% smaller than previous versions. Intel also says it can deliver 32% better performance and reduce power consumption by more than 15%.
“Consumers crave laptops that offer style and performance, and the new 2010 Intel Core Ultra-Low Voltage processors for ultra-thin laptops deliver both, in one sleek design,” said Mooly Eden, Vice President and General Manager of the PC Client Group at Intel.
“Intel’s leadership in 32nm high-k metal gate process technology, combined with breakthrough architecture and design, has enabled thinner, lighter and faster notebooks than previous models, with terrific battery life. Not only are laptops becoming ultraportable, but with the new processors inside, users will see faster response times and less waiting.”
Processors that feature ‘Intel Turbo Boost Technology4’ will “automatically accelerate performance, adjusting to the workload” to give users an immediate performance boost when needed, says the company.
