All: yahoo.cnet.com New Intel laptop chips consume less power By Bloomberg News October 10, 2000, 3:45 p.m. PT SAN JOSE, Calif.--Intel said it will enhance energy-saving features in processors for laptops and begin shipping new mobile Pentium chips next year as competition intensifies. Intel demonstrated two chips: a 1-GHz Pentium III that consumes 2 watts of power and a 500-MHz version that reaches half a watt. The company said both chips will be available in the first half of 2001. Competition for low-power chips is heating up as more computer makers decide to use processors from rival Transmeta in some systems, claiming Transmeta's new design helps batteries last longer. Intel, trying to regain the spotlight, Tuesday highlighted plans for coming products and revealed details of energy-conservation techniques at the Microprocessor Forum in San Jose, Calif. "The focus we've had on this has been coming to fruition in products very nicely," Frank Spindler, manager of Intel's mobile-chip group, said in an interview. "These technologies put processors into extreme low-power states." Intel, based in Santa Clara, Calif., is considering the creation of a second design for mobile chips, to be released in 2002 or 2003, Spindler said. The evaluation is in early stages, and no name has been given to the project, he said. The company will build chips based on its current design with smaller, 0.13-micron wires starting next year. Thinner circuits help make smaller semiconductors that use less power. Intel last month began shipping new mobile Pentiums running at 850 MHz or 800 MHz when computers are plugged into electrical outlets and a Celeron operating at 700 MHz. Copyright 2000, Bloomberg L.P.

Intel aims to break 1-GHz mobile MPU barrier in 2001 By Mark Hachman TechWeb News (10/10/00, 07:12:34 PM EDT) SAN JOSE -- Intel Corp. plans to break the 1-GHz barrier in the mobile space in the first half of 2001, the company said Tuesday, while rival Advanced Micro Devices Inc. disclosed its first multiprocessor implementation. While the presentations at the Microprocessor Forum here have been geared towards a technical audience of engineers and system designers, stock-conscious manufacturers have also disclosed product milestones to attract additional investment. "The mobile market isn't what it used to be in the following sense," said Bob Jackson, principal engineer at Intel's Mobile Products Group in Santa Clara, Calif. "It's grown enormously, and in the other sense it's segmented as it hasn't done before." About 60% of the notebooks shipped this year will be in the "thin and light" category, which combines high performance and low power, according to Intel. Santa Clara-based Intel plans to break the 1-GHz barrier with its mobile microprocessor about a year after it first sampled its desktop processors at 1 GHz, according to company presentation materials provided to Forum attendees. "The device will not be a "brand-new processor," Jackson said. Executives said the 1-GHz chip will be a standard Pentium III. The device should be available in the first half of 2001, aswell as a second device optimized for the lowest-power segments of the industry. Two new processors will be introduced in 2002, one for the high end of the market and the other addressing the thin-and-light, mini-notebook, and sub-notebook sector. Jackson said Intel is trying to provide the best performance in each of the notebook segments, through a single platform design extended across all of those segments to maximize stability. Chip rival AMD of Sunnyvale, Calif., also demonstrated two of its Athlon microprocessors working together in its first multiprocessor implementation. The demonstration consisted of a computer powered by dual AMD Athlon processors, the AMD-760MP chip set, and next-generation double data rate (DDR) memory. "Today's demonstration brings AMD one step closer to enable our customers to offer next-generation dual processor workstations and servers powered by AMD processors," said Rich Heye, vice president and general manager of AMD's Texas Microprocessor Division, in a statement. "AMD's dual processor platform is designed to take the extremely successful AMD Athlon processor into the enterprise markets that require multiprocessing workstation and server solutions."

e-Business Summit Showcases Intel-Based Solutions Industry-wide Collaboration Provides Reliable, High-Performing and Cost-Effective Solutions for Growing Internet Economy SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 11, 2000-- Technology and e-Business leaders assembled today at The eXCHANGE e-Business summit emphasizing the momentum behind Intel-based solutions. The two-day summit, hosted by Intel Corporation, will highlight the importance of a worldwide e-Business ecosystem to support today's growing Internet economy. ``Decisions you make today on your Internet-based business model will have consequences for decades,'' said Craig R. Barrett, Intel president and CEO. ``An open architecture creates unlimited possibilities to build the most flexible, scalable, cost-effective and innovative e-Business solutions.'' Industry leaders Carly Fiorina, chairman, president and CEO of Hewlett-Packard Corporation; Bill Gates, chairman and chief software architect of Microsoft Corporation; and John M. Thompson, vice chairman, IBM, are delivering keynote addresses at the event. They join Barrett, Intel Chairman Andy Grove and Executive Vice President Paul Otellini in offering senior business and information technology managers blueprints of the diverse technologies that will help them innovate, grow and respond to the changing conditions of the Internet economy. In addition to the keynotes, more than 100 companies are showcasing their e-Business success stories and products that support building front-to-back e-Businesses. Intel's e-Business and Intel® Architecture Solutions At the event, Intel provided an update on some of its key e-Business building blocks and programs. Intel said it is placing the final touches on its Itanium(TM) processor family and expects initial Itanium processor-based pilots to be shipping this quarter. More than 400 applications are currently being developed, and Intel has shipped more than 6,500 prototype systems and almost 32,000 processors since November. Helped by the Intel® Pentium® III Xeon(TM) and Pentium III processor families, Intel-based servers make up more than 75 percent of all Internet servers deployed, according to 1999 figures from IDC. Intel-based servers are running some of the largest and most mission-critical e-Businesses in the world today, and continue to achieve significant industry leading performance benchmarks at much lower overall system costs. Earlier this year, Intel committed more than $100 million and created new programs to assist with developing Internet solutions. One such program, the Intel e-Business Network, is the largest of its kind, encompassing more than 100,000 developers, service providers, resellers, distributors, consultants and integrators. With Intel-led solution centers and programs, certification laboratories and e-Business alliances, Intel is working with the industry to integrate and easily deploy affordable Intel-based solutions. Intel, the world's largest chip maker, is also a leading manufacturer of computer, networking and communications products. Additional information about Intel is available at www.intel.com/pressroom.
