Intel Core2 Duo Processor Unified Brand Name For Upcoming PC,
Laptop Processors
New Brand, Common Microarchitecture Will Make it Easier for
Computer Buyers to Choose a Great Computer; Developers to Design
Software
SANTA CLARA, Calif., May 8, 2006 The Intel Core2 Duo processor is
the new brand for Intel Corporations upcoming powerful and more
energy-efficient processor families for desktop and laptop
computers that will arrive in the third quarter, the company
announced today.
Formerly codenamed Conroe and Merom, the Intel Core2 Duo
processors for desktop and notebooks PCs respectively are based on
the newly designed Intel Core microarchitecture and will include
two processing cores or brains per chip, hence the Duo addition.
Intel will also call its highest performing processor for
enthusiast and gamers the Intel Core2 Extreme processor.
Laptop Battery These ground-breaking processors will be built on Intels
advanced 65-nanometer design and manufacturing process technology
that shrinks a processors circuitry and transistors. This
combination will deliver higher-performing, yet more
energy-efficient processors that will spur more capable, stylish,
silent and smaller mobile and desktop PCs while saving on
electricity usage.
Fi laptop, with Intel Celeron Processor, drive and 512MB memory, in webcam and Intel Graphics Media Accelerator (GMA) 950, up to 224 MB of shared system memory.
Thinkpad With this unified PC and notebook brand and microarchitecture,
everyone will have a simple way to choose the most powerful and
energy-efficient processors in the world, and developers will be
able to more easily write optimized software just once for a
variety of computing segments, said Eric Kim, Intel senior vice
president and chief marketing officer. We want these processors to
be the heart and soul of computers that are increasingly bringing
magic to our digital lifestyles.
Description Have a friend with a laptop Do they always complain about the heat Cool them down with HandStands' Cool Lift. Designed to help promote air flow and reduce heat, the Cool Lift is perfect for notebook computers with the latest hot processors from Intel, AMD, Motorola, or IBM. Proof Shields for Laptops help prevent scratches from normal laptop use. Proof Shield. It even completely disappears when applied!
Microsoft Having a common microarchitecture for the consumer, gaming,
notebook and
business desktop market segments
makes it easier for computer developers to create more efficient
software applications and can share capabilities
across all categories if
necessary.
Processor Laptop computers used to fall short when comparing processing speed with desktop computers. With today's technology, however, those times are soon coming to an end. Manufacturers like Intel and AMD have stepped up their development and are now making processors for laptops that are quite comparable to those of desktops. This allows consumers who want portability to also have the speed and power they need.
Laptop Computers The dual-core processors will include the industrys largest
integrated cache or memory reservoir called Intel Advanced Smart
Cache that includes a unique design for faster performance on
memory intensive applications. The products will also support such
features as enhanced security, virtualization and manageability
built right into the processors.
"Intel is excited to be part of a combined effort to demonstrate this tremendous offering for consumers on Intel Corea Duo processor based PC platforms, " said Brendan Traw, Intel Fellow and Chief Technology Officer, Intel's Digital Home Group. "Network connectivity with HD DVD titles can deliver consumers new viewing possibilities with additional bonus content, features, and games. This feature is a great step forward in the advancement of digital home entertainment experience."
Laptop Computer Consumers and
businesses will also be able to
purchase these processors as part of Intels market-focused
platforms, a collection of Intel hardware and software
technology innovation designed and tested together and tailored
to specific computing needs. Intel offers wireless computing,
in-home entertainment or business productivity platforms through
the companys Intel Centrino Duo mobile technology, Intel Viiv
technology and Intel vPro technology brands respectively, all of
which are powered by versions of these new processors.
Available processors such as Intel Centrino M, Celeron M etc are the most commonly used. They differ in the speed offered as also the heat dissipation and long term durability. So you must choose your laptop depending on what purpose you intend to use it for. Those who consider themselves average users and have budget constraints should choose middle range processors such as Celeron, for extensive and high end computing applications go for an Centrino or Pentium processor.
Desktop Computer Starting with these new brands, the 2 will signal the arrival of
a new generation of technology to the Intel Core processor line. In
order to be consistent with current Intel Core processor naming,
Intel will continue to use such terms as Duo to creatively and
effectively indicate the number of processing cores per
product.
Notebooks Intel, the world leader in silicon innovation, develops
technologies, products and initiatives to continually advance how
people work and live. Additional information about Intel is
