Intel introduces 32nm processors to SA
Intel today announced the introduction of its 2010 family of i3, i5 and i7 processors to the South African market.
These are the first to be based on the company’s 32 nanometre manufacturing process. This technique, along with other advances, helps increase speed while decreasing energy consumption says Intel.
“For the first time, there’s a new family of Intel processors with the industry’s most advanced technology available immediately at virtually every PC price point,” says Videsha Proothveerajh, Country Manager of Intel South Africa.
“These smart processors adapt to an individual’s needs, automatically providing a ‘boost’ of performance for everyday applications. They become energy efficient to the point of shutting down processing cores or reducing power consumption to provide performance when people need it, and energy efficient when they don’t,” she says.
According to Intel this represents the future of computer processing and can be equated to the release of the first Pentium in the 1990’s.
“The Core family of processors is the biggest invention since the Pentium,” says Proothveerajh. “The new Core i7, Core i5 and Core i3 have set the bar for the future of processors.”
No local price points or details regarding availability are as yet available.
