Intel Introduces Five New Processors For Mobile PCs

Launch Includes Fastest Mobile Processor Ever, First Mobile Pentium III Processor At Less Than One Watt

SANTA CLARA, Calif., June 19, 2000 - Intel Corporation today introduced five new mobile processors that deliver the industry's highest performance across all notebook PC designs: full-size, thin-and-light and ultra-portable. Intel also extended its low power technologies with these new products, including the first mobile Intel® Pentium® III processor that consumes less than one watt of power on average. **

These new products are shipping in volume today and are enabling a wide range of innovative PC designs from leading manufacturers.

"Intel continues to deliver the highest performance across all mobile PC segments," said Frank Spindler, vice president, and general manager of Intel's Mobile Platforms Group. "By combining Intel® SpeedStep™ technology with ultra low voltage technology, we are delivering processors consuming less than one watt of average power, bringing high performance to today's smallest notebook designs."

Five New Mobile Processors
The new mobile Pentium III processor with Intel® SpeedStep™ technology at 750 MHz is the fastest mobile processor available. The processor enables the highest performing, full-size notebook PCs that can also serve as an alternative to a high-performance desktop system. Averaging less than 2 watts** of power consumption in Battery Optimized Mode, the processor is also suitable for thin-and-light notebook designs.

The new low power mobile Pentium III processor 600 MHz features Intel SpeedStep technology and ultra low voltage operation. The processor operates on only 1.1 volts and consumes less than 1 watt of average power in Battery Optimized Mode, bringing high performance to ultra-portable notebook PCs weighing less than three pounds and measuring only about one inch in height.

Intel also introduced mobile Intel® Celeron® processors at 650 and 600 MHz, bringing the industry's highest performance to the new value mobile PC segment.

A new mobile Intel Celeron processor at 500 MHz offers 1.35 volt operation to enable ultra-portable mobile systems at value price points.

Intel Low Power Technology
Intel mobile processors are specially engineered to meet the performance, power, cooling and size requirements of mobile PCs. Intel's 0.18-micron process technology enables processors running as low as 1.1 volt. Intel SpeedStep technology featured in mobile Pentium III processors automatically detects whether AC power is available and scales the clock frequency to help users achieve the optimum balance between performance and battery savings. In addition, Intel's QuickStart technology can power down the processor to less than half a watt, regardless of the application being used -- even between keystrokes.

Intel's advanced cooling and packaging technology enables high performance in today's smallest and lightest notebook PC designs.

Specifications and Pricing
All mobile Pentium III processors feature a 100 MHz system bus, 256 Kilobyte full-speed Advanced Transfer Cache, Advanced System Buffering and Streaming SIMD extensions. These features combine to enable the highest performing mobile PCs available in the marketplace.
