Intel unveils 16 next-gen processors

All of these chips are said to include the company’s transistor formula and 45nm manufacturing process that boosts a PC’s speed, reduces power requirements, saves on battery life, helps the environment and comes in smaller packages for more fashionable and compact computer designs.

With the introduction of the processors, Intel will be offering a total of 32 desktop, laptop and server processors based on these innovations.

The company also announced how it will take advantage of its transistor and manufacturing advances to spur a category of small form-factor, low-powered, high-performance devices that deliver broadband Internet access “in your pocket”.

The processors are said to be up to 25% smaller than previous versions, so computer makers can create sleek, new designs for consumers ranging from stylish all-in-one desktop PCs to smaller notebooks.

Among the 16 new products, 12 are designed for new laptops and desktops products and four are for servers. All are now lead-free and, starting this year, halogen-free, making the processors more eco-friendly, Intel says.

“The products provide consumers and businesses with the benefit of sleeker and higher-performing laptops and more powerful and fashionable PCs that deliver.

"They are designed for the most hard-core gamer, high-definition enthusiast and just about every other consumer demand,” says Mooly Eden, vice-president and GM: mobile platforms group, Intel.
