Intel ratcheted up the speed of its Celeron processors for portable computers
today, introducing two new, faster chips.

As previously reported, the new chips run at speeds of 433 MHz and 466 MHz. Intel cut
mobile Celeron prices by as much as 40 percent in the last two weeks to make way for the
new chips.

In large quantities, the new chips cost $159 for the 433-MHz chip and $209 for the
466-MHz chip, Intel said. Intel's low-end mobile chips, like those of rival manufacturer
AMD, begin at 300 MHz.

The mobile processors are smaller and consume less power than their counterparts for
desktop computers.
