From L'INQ: Intel dabbles with "Celeron" Pentium Ms Congestion charge should be introduced as "Celerinos" invade.... By Mike Magee: Sunday 04 May 2003, 10:06 A REPORT on Cnet said Intel confirmed the existence of a Celeron "A" notebook processor, built specially for Sony for the Japanese market and based on the design of the Pentium M. The Pentium M processor, allegedly "built from the ground up" like Microsoft Windows XP was "built from the ground up", is at the heart of Intel's Centrino notebook bundle, which includes chipset and wi-fi kit. This chip, probably aimed at kicking Transmeta where it hurts, in the Japanese market, is a 600MHz ultra low voltage Pentium M. And quoting Intel representative Shannon Johnson, the article said the chip giant might introduce a whole new family of notebooks called Pentium M Celerons. Those chips are not on the very crowded Intel notebook roadmap yet. Shannon says Intel will bring it to its "official" road map, if it needs to. Exactly which official Intel roadmap do you mean, Shannon? There are so many processors designed for the notebook either now available or coming soon, such as the Pentium 4 Portability "desktop" CPU, that some wags have suggested that Intel could do with introducing its own version of Red Ken Livingstone's "congestion charge". Just a few yards from PC World, in Tottenham Court Road, the big C for congestion area starts, but in PC World itself, and it's not alone amongst London retailers by any means, the shelves are congested with notebooks using Pentium III-Ms, Pentium Ms, Pentium 4Ms, Pentium 4s, Pentium III-M Celerons, Pentium 4 Celerons, as well as a selection of notebooks using AMD processors and even some Transmeta chips in Sony notebooks. Which is presumably the competitor La Intella would wish to scupper on the Pentium M Celeron. µ L'INQ
