Known as the Menlow refresh for the processor platform's codename, the update would boost most of the line a speed grade upwards; the Z550 would clock higher than 1.83GHz, while the Z534 would escape the 1.6GHz spe... http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/11/04/intel.menlow.refresh/ Tue, 04 Nov 2008 14:40:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/03/02/intel.atom/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0802/intelatom.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Intel tonight kicked off Germany's CeBIT expo with the unveiling of Atom, a new processor line specifically tailored towards ultra-mobile PCs, mobile Internet devices (MIDs), and other handhelds. Previously nicknamed either Silverthorne or Diamondville, the processor series is built on the same 45 nanometer manufacturing process as newer Core 2 chips and shares the same instruction set, but is fa... http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/03/02/intel.atom/ Mon, 03 Mar 2008 03:55:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/02/04/intel.silverthorne.details/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0802/intelmid.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Intel today supplied additional information about its expected Silverthorne ultra-mobile processors. Speaking at the International Solid-State Circuits Conference, the company has revealed that the 45 nanometer processor will not only be more power-efficient -- consuming between 0.5 and 2 watts at peak use -- but will also be fundamentally compatible with both newer and older technologies. Altho... http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/02/04/intel.silverthorne.details/ Mon, 04 Feb 2008 18:25:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/01/17/gigabyte.eee.pc.rival/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0801/asuseeepc-2.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Gigabyte will be the latest to introduce a micro-notebook in the vein of ASUS' Eee PC, company VP Richard Ma has said. Without providing full details, the executive notes that the new mini PC will use Intel's Shelton platform with a 1.6GHz, single-core CPU whose entire platform draws just eight watts. Screen size will range anywhere from 7 to 9 inches depending on the final design. As with ASUS... http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/01/17/gigabyte.eee.pc.rival/ Thu, 17 Jan 2008 14:45:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/07/12/21/apple.and.intel.umpc/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0712/intelmid.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Apple will use the chipsets that form the basis of Intel's ultra-mobile PC (UMPC) and mobile Internet device (MID) reference platforms, according to a claim by AppleInsider. Expanding on previous statements from Taiwan suppliers, the rumor site points to Apple using the 45-nanometer Silverthorne mobile chip for "multiple products" during 2008. The small manufacturing process lets it run as quick... http://www.macnn.com/articles/07/12/21/apple.and.intel.umpc/ Fri, 21 Dec 2007 15:40:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/07/12/14/intel.z.p140.ssd/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0712/intelz-p140.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Intel late Friday revealed what it touts as the most miniscule solid-state drive ever released. The Z-P140 is tailored for portable media players, handhelds, and other devices where even the already small 1.8-inch flash drives common to ultraportable notebooks would be too large. The entire drive is no larger than a penny and weighs just 0.02 ounces --as much as a paper clip, the chipmaker says.... http://www.macnn.com/articles/07/12/14/intel.z.p140.ssd/ Sat, 15 Dec 2007 04:45:00 GMT
