Intel Makes Major Move in Mobile Processor Market
PHOENIX--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 15, 1999--Semico Research Corp. announced today the availability of a new study, ''Intel Makes Major Move in Mobile Processor Market,'' discussing the impact of recent Intel announcements about the introduction of new Pentium II and Celeron microprocessors in the mobile computing market.
Semico believes that ever-improving performance will continue to drive the mobile computing market. For a very short while. Intel competitors had gained an edge, but the new Pentium II and Celeron processors should put Intel back on track to continue its dominance of the market.
The study, ''Intel Makes Major Move in Mobile Processor Market discusses the impact of the new microprocessors on both Intel's competitors and its customers.
The mobile Pentium II and the mobile Celeron introduced by Intel each have increased amounts of integrated L2 Cache. Semico believes that is a continuation of a trend that eventually will lead to the demise of discrete SRAM in PC applications. This trend is discussed further in a separate Semico study, ''SRAM: Soon Cache Will Be Just An Embedded Memory.'' This report focuses on SRAM rather than on microprocessors, but the conclusion is the same. By 2001, discrete L2 Cache SRAM will have almost disappeared from PC applications.
Further information about either the study, ''Intel Makes Major Move in Mobile Processor Market,'' the study ''SRAM: Soon Cache Will Be Just An Embedded Memory,'' or other products and services is available at the Semico Research Corp.
