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.<\/p>\n
With the introduction of the processors, Intel will be offering a total of 32 desktop, laptop and server processors based on these innovations.<\/p>\n
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”.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
“The products provide consumers and businesses with the benefit of sleeker and higher-performing laptops and more powerful and fashionable PCs that deliver.<\/p>\n
"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.<\/p>\n
