Good news for companies like XYBR.......Intel to unveil new mobile microprocessor on Tuesday PALO ALTO, Calif., Jan. 14 (Reuters) - Intel Corp. (NasdaqNM:INTC - news), the world's largest semiconductor company, on Tuesday will announce a version of its flagship microprocessor, the Pentium III, for laptop computers with a new technology that helps extend battery life. Called SpeedStep technology, formerly code-named Geyserville, it allows users to run their notebook at one frequency when unplugged and then jump to a higher level of performance when the power cord is plugged in. While Intel declined comment on what speed at which the chip would run, analysts said the first chips would run at 600 megahertz and move up from there in later versions. ''I've heard the first ones are going to be around 600 megahertz in the Geyserville mode and they will go up from there over the course of the year,'' said Linley Gwennap, principal analyst at the Linley Group in Mountain View, Calif. An Intel spokeswoman said an event is planned for Tuesday in San Francisco where it will demonstrate the technology. The technology should allow desktop-level performance for laptops, provide for longer battery life and will automatically switch between the two frequencies when the user removes the power cord. With the faster processors that are now used in laptops, the distinction between desktop PCs and laptops is blurring. More and more consumers and businesses, analysts said, are using mobile PCs as their sole work computer. One such business is Intel itself. A growing number of its employees -- such as those who travel a good deal -- now use a laptop as their primary work computer and plug it into a docking station at their desks.
