Intel Outlines New Chips, Designs
Techtree News Staff, Sep 20, 2007 1308 hrs ISTIntel claims this is the first notebook Centrino processor technology offering integrated Wi-Fi and WiMax wireless technologies for greater wireless Broadband access.
At the Intel Developers Forum (IDF) being held in San Francisco, among other things, Intel said it will begin the pending rollout of WiMax support for laptops, as also a new category of Internet-connected devices in early 2008.
Due later in 2008, the Montevina platform based on Penryn dual-core processors operating at 25 watts, will include support for WiMax. It will feature integrated HD-DVD/Blu-ray support, and next generation data manageability, and security features.
Intel claims this is the first notebook Centrino processor technology offering integrated Wi-Fi and WiMax wireless technologies for greater wireless Broadband access.
According to Intel, mobile WiMax provides multi-megabit speed, greater throughput, and wider range compared to other wireless Broadband alternatives, which is crucial to consumers who want to increasingly access user-generated content, HD videos, music, photos, and other large data files while on-the-move.
Intel said that in the first half of 2008, it plans to deliver the first platform designed from the ground up for UMPCs, which is codenamed Menlow. The platform promises to deliver 10x lower power compared to the first UMPCs in the market, Intel said.
Menlow is based on Silverthorne, a 45nm hi-k low power microarchitecture-based processor, and a next-generation chipset, codenamed Poulsbo. Menlow will also feature optional communication capabilities such as Wi-Fi, 3G, and WiMax.
The event saw Intel president and chief executive officer, Paul Otellini, outlining new products, chip designs, and manufacturing technologies.
Otellini showcased the first working chip built using 32 nanometer (nm) technology, and described the advantages of the upcoming 45nm family of Penryn processors.
The Penryn processors are based on Intel's hi-k metal gate transistor technology, and according to Intel, would be the world's first high-volume 45nm processors.
Penryn, with small feature size, low-power requirements, and high-performance capabilities, will be used in combination with Silverthorne 45nm processors to a meet a variety of computing needs ranging from handheld Internet PCs to high-end servers.
Penryn will be available beginning November; while the 32nm technology will be put into production in 2009.
The event also saw the first public demonstration of the Gen-Next chip architecture codenamed Nehalem that leverages Intel's Core Microarchitecture, due out second half of 2008, the company said.
