One feature of the new PIII mobiles is that it reduces the clock frequency and voltage after each keystroke. As I said before, I'm looking forward to benchmark comparisons between AMD's first GHz notebook and Intel's. Petz

"Intel will launch its first 1GHz mobile processor next March" "The Register" is often fairly optimistic on these things, remember the P4 for February (I think) of last year? It is pretty likely that this is a 0.13 micron chip, I would suspect that the 700MHz is probably close to the max for their low voltage processors.

Gopher, Re: Any ideas on the power consumption of this one? [mobile 1 GHz PIII] When I saw a desktop(!) 1 GHz PIII in a German laptop some weeks ago (even advertised on TV), I thought it batteries might last for no more than 30 minutes. However, several German PC magazines reviewed the model and found out that it worked quite well. With the c't mobile benchmark batteries lasted an astonishing 2 hours and 30 minutes. IMO this shows that power consumption is overrated. Normal office applications only use a fraction of the CPU power available and because of that the average power consumption is very low. However, it would be interesting to see what happens if you put that laptop permanently under heavy CPU load (e.g. with a program like CPUBurn). Andreas

Gopher, <Intel will launch its first 1GHz mobile processor next March, less than a month after releasing a 700MHz "low voltage" PIII, the follow-up to this week's "ultra-low voltage" 500MHz PIII. theregister.co.uk; Launch to delivery will take some time but I expect Intel to be fully capable of 1GHz laptop chips with the new process. <Any ideas on the power consumption of this one? > Should be within the laptop constraints ~ 20W <Since they don't have a .13 process yet, how on earth can Intel get a .18 micron 1GHz P3 to run at laptop power when they can't produce one for desktops that runs at 1.13? Is this a radical new P3 core or another paper launch? > Intel is yielding OK at 1GHz now (desktop SKU) but I don't think there is enough volume there even to support the desktop needs. Intel's strategy is to push the 1GHz PIII OEM demand to 1.3GHz P4. Until Intel moves to 0.13, any mobile 1GHz parts will be vapor. And, I expect Intel to move to 0.13 in Q2. Assuming AMD can deliver the laptop SKUs in Q1 with good volumes in Q2, Intel had no response. AMD's challenge, as usual, is AMD - not Intel. Chuck
