Intel unveils 15 new Pentium III class processors in India. October 28, 1999, 18:30 Hrs (IST) New Delhi: Intel Corporation has launched 15 new Pentium-III and Pentium-III Xeon processors, all built using 0.18-micron process technology that enable faster processor speeds and lower power consumption. The new processors feature an advanced transfer cache that delivers a performance boost of up to 25 per cent, when compared to earlier Pentium- III processors at the same clock speed. New packaging options enable a wide choice of system configurations, including ultra-thin and light PCs and small-form factor desktop PCs. "We are delivering a wave of design-enhanced, 0.18 micron processor to all segments of Internet computing-desktop, mobile, workstation and server," said Atul Vijakar, director, South Asia, Intel. In addition to these new microprocessors, Intel has also introduced Intel 840 chipset for the workstation and server market segments. The company also launched mobile Pentium-III processors, now available in 500, 450 and 400 Mhz speeds. The smallest mobile Pentium-III processor package (called Ball Grid Array or BGA) is about the size of a postage stamp. While the 400 and 450 Mhz processor in the mobile Pentium-III range come for $348, the 500 Mhz processor comes for $530. In the desktop series, the Pentium-III processors are available at 733, 700, 667, 650, 600, 550, 533 and 500 Mhz. These are supported by a variety of chipsets, including the Intel 810E, Intel 440BX and Intel 440ZX. These would also be supported by the Intel 820 chipset when it ships later this year. In the desktop Pentium-III series, the prices fall between $239 and $776. (Capital Market News )
