Milo Moron - Where are AMD'a 1 GHz Notebooks ? "The machines, an IBMThinkPad and Compaq Presario, each had the 1GHz mobile Pentium III chip and a 15-inch display. MacDonald said Gateway Inc. (NYSE:GTW - news), Dell Computer Corp. (Nasdaq:DELL - news), Hewlett-Packard Co. (NYSE:HWP - news), and Acer America Corp. would also offer notebooks featuring the chip. " dailynews.yahoo.com Friday November 17 04:31 PM EST On the near horizon -- 1GHz notebooks By John G. Spooner, ZDNet News Intel plans to roll out its 1GHz mobile Pentium III chip in the first half of 2001, helping desktop replacement notebooks stay up to speed. Notebook PCs will soon break the 1GHz barrier. Chip maker Intel Corp. (Nasdaq:INTC - news) this week showed off several notebooks fitted with 1GHz versions of its mobile Pentium III processor with SpeedStep technology. The 1GHz mobile Pentium III chip is due in the first half of next year, Intel officials said. When it ships, it should help Intel hold the line on the perceived performance gap between so-called desktop replacement notebooks and desktop PCs. The higher power consumption and greater amount of heat associated with faster mobile chips prevent Intel and PC makers from offering the fastest available chips for notebooks, accounting for the gap. However, Intel hopes that desktop replacement notebooks fitted with the 1GHz mobile chip will offer customers the convenience of portability coupled with acceptable performance, when compared to desktops with Intel's Pentium 4 chip running at 1.4GHz and faster. Is it 700 or 1,000? Using Intel's SpeedStep technology, the new mobile chip will run at 1GHz when it is plugged in and drawing altered current power. However -- as demonstrated by Intel at Comdex/Fall '00 this week in Las Vegas -- when a user switches to battery power, the chip will drop to 700MHz. When running at 700MHz, the average increase in power consumption is "incremental" to current mobile Pentium IIIs, said Don MacDonald, director of marketing for Intel's Mobile Platform Group. This means that notebooks should be able to run for five to six hours when appropriately configured, MacDonald said. Battery life will still vary, however, depending on the manufacturer, screen sizes, and battery sizes. Also, Intel's SpeedStep does include an override feature that will allow users to run at 1GHz on battery power. Dual notebook demo During a technology demonstration held at this week's Comdex, MacDonald showed off a pair of notebooks fitted with the chip. The machines, an IBMThinkPad and Compaq Presario, each had the 1GHz mobile Pentium III chip and a 15-inch display. MacDonald said Gateway Inc. (NYSE:GTW - news), Dell Computer Corp. (Nasdaq:DELL - news), Hewlett-Packard Co. (NYSE:HWP - news), and Acer America Corp. would also offer notebooks featuring the chip. ZDNet news has reported that Intel plans to ship the new mobile 1GHz along with a 900MHz mobile Pentium III in the second quarter of next year. Email this story - View most popular
