Intel rolls out first Pentium 4 processors and chip set for notebook PCs Semiconductor Business News (03/03/02 23:55 p.m. EST) SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- In a move to enable a new class of powerful computers, Intel Corp. here today formally announced the first in a family of Pentium 4 microprocessors and a chip set for notebook PCs and related products. Based on a 0.13-micron process technology, Intel's first mobile Pentium 4 processors come in 1.6- and 1.7-GHz speed grades. The new processors work in conjunction with the company's 845M chip set, a device that supports the 266-MHz version of the double-data-rate (DDR) SDRAM standard. The new mobile Pentium 4 chips will enable the development of high-speed, low-power notebook computers that cost less than $2,500 right now, said Donald MacDonald, director of marketing for the Mobile Platform Group at Intel, based in Santa Clara. Prices for Pentium 4-based notebooks are expected to drop and sell for below $1,500 by year's end, MacDonald said. The new chips are geared for full-sized, thin-and-light, and other form factors in the notebook PC space, he told SBN in an interview at last week's Intel Developer Forum (IDF) in San Francisco. The new chips are 55-million transistor devices that consist of the same core as Intel's existing Pentium 4 processors for desktops. But the new mobile chips incorporate the company's low-power technologies, enabling the processors to run between 1-to-1.3 volts and consume less than 2 Watts of power, he said. The chips are bundled with the company's Enhanced Speed Step, Deep Sleep and other technologies. Peak voltage on the chips range from 1-to-1.3 volts and power consumption is about 1.46 Watts. The new processors also support a 400-MHz front-side bus, 512-kilobits of cache, AGP 4X, and the DDR266. Housed in a flip-chip PGA package, the 1.6-GHz mobile Pentium 4 chip is $401, while the 1.7-GHz version is $508. Prices are quoted in 1,000-piece lots.
