Intel Announces World's Fastest And Lowest-Power Processors For Mobile PCs

12 New Mobile Processors Covering Every Mobile PC Segment

SANTA CLARA, Calif., Oct. 1, 2001 -- Intel Corporation today announced the world's fastest and lowest-power-consuming microprocessors for mobile PCs. Both are based on Intel's advanced 0.13-micron manufacturing process technology, which enable these new levels of performance and low power consumption. The new products are among 12 new processors announced today that span all mobile computing market segments.

The mobile Intel Pentium® III Processor-M at 1.2 GHz is the fastest mobile processor currently on the market and provides the highest performance for both full-size and thin-and-light notebook PCs. The new ultra-low-voltage mobile Intel Pentium III Processor-M at 700 MHz operates at 0.95 volt while consuming less than half a watt of average power** making it the lowest power processor available for mobile PCs.

"The mobile Pentium III Processor-M family combines the best in high performance, low power mobile processor design with the worlds most advanced manufacturing technology," said Frank Spindler, vice president and general manager of Intel's Mobile Platforms Group. "This introduction extends the benefits of the mobile Pentium III Processor-M to the smallest notebook PCs. Small, sleek, fast, with great battery life - our best mobile technology is now available for every size mobile PC."

High Performance and Low Power For Ultra-Portables
With today's announcement, the Intel low-power processor family transitions to the 0.13-micron process technology and adds new architectural enhancements for higher performance and lower power consumption. Intel's 0.13-micron process technology was previously incorporated into mobile processors designed for the full-size and thin-and-light mobile PCs earlier this year.

The new Ultra-Low and Low Voltage mobile Pentium III Processors-M feature several architectural advancements including: 512KB L2 cache, Data Prefetcher and a processor system bus up to 133MHz.

Additionally, all mobile Pentium III Processor-M products support Enhanced Intel SpeedStep™ technology that can automatically switch between Maximum Performance Mode and Battery Optimized Mode, providing the best balance of performance and low power consumption. The Deeper Sleep mode provides a power reduction from previous low power sleep states to help extend battery life ž reaching power levels as low as two tenths of a watt or less. With the addition of the new architectural and power technologies, the ultra-low voltage mobile Pentium III Processor-M operates at 0.95 volts and provides up to 64 percent** performance gain over the previous generation. These products are optimized for mini and sub notebooks as well tablet PCs.

Breakthrough Performance With New Mobile Intel® 830 Chipsets
Intel also introduced two new versions of its Intel 830 mobile chipset family designed to address the needs of a variety of mobile market segments. The Intel 830M provides performance-oriented, integrated graphics for robust 2D, 3D, and video display on mainstream notebook PCs and the Intel 830MG provides value-oriented, integrated graphics capability for lower-cost platforms. The integration also enables space and power savings, critical to small mobile PCs. Additionally, both chipsets support up to 1GB high-performance PC-133 SDRAM memory. When compared to the previous Intel 815EM chipset with integrated graphics, the new Intel 830M provides up to a 113 percent** performance gain. In 1,000-unit quantities, the Intel 830M chipset is $49.50 and the Intel 830MG chipset is $35.00.
