Paul and Intel investors, interesting article about Banias: All day operation on batteries and of 52 megabits per second Internet connection capability. Not bad. - Tony ========================================== Intel Israel develops laptop of the future Powerful computer will have wireless non-stop link to Net By Yuval Dror and Roni Lifschitz Intel Corporation will develop its next-generation computer in Israel. The new computer, which is to be unveiled some time in 2003, will be a notebook with always-on Internet connection via wireless communications infrastructure that is also being developed in Israel. The notebook will be powered by a chip codenamed Banias, the company's first chip designed solely for portable computers. The chip will provide computing power equivalent to powerful desktop computers; it incorporates low power circuitry and design and will be able to work on batteries for an entire day without having to be charged. Intel's engineers at the company's development site in Haifa are working on a new communications infrastructure that will enable owners of its new laptop to connect to the Internet at a speed of 52 megabits a second, which is 125 times faster than current modem-connection surfing on home computers today. Intel believes that the new computer will power the company's growth and will help it to climb out of the crisis in the technology sector. To operate the system, it will be necessary to install millions of wireless Internet access points that will connect the notebook to the Web. Earlier this week, Sean Maloney, an executive vice president of Intel and head of its communications division, visited Intel's research centers in Israel to follow up on development of the new platform. The visit is apparently connected to Intel's intention to unveil some of the communications chips that the new computer will connect to. Maloney called Intel's development center in Israel the company's most important center for complex projects. "It is no coincidence that the development center in Haifa is working on development of Banias and the wireless communication chips," Maloney said. haaretzdaily.com
