Mobile MPUs Gain Market Momentum By Tom Murphy, Electronic News -- 5/1/2002 3:42:00 PM e-insite.net Call it the legacy of Transmeta, or call it the anti-beige box trend, but don’t call it a desktop as PC semiconductor designers focus their attention on the mobile market. In the next 12 months, expect to see a definitive trend making microprocessors and all of the other PC components around them less power-hungry. That means specific processes and specific products set up for PCs that are designed to operate for eight hours on a single battery charge. When exactly eight hours of computing on battery will become a practical reality is still a little bit unclear, but clearly the trend is toward PC semiconductor manufacturers and PC system designers taking more steps in that direction than ever before. The most visible evidence of the low-power move is Intel’s efforts around its Banius processor. Built specifically for mobile applications, with the Banias, Intel is cutting some ties to the past – the company used to take its desktop processors, add a few process technology tweaks, make some interesting power-saving software measures and package them as mobile processors.
