Humble one, Article...Intel 266MHz Mobile Pentium, Notebook Makers Jump... ****Intel 266MHz Mobile Pentium, Notebook Makers Jump 01/12/98 SANTA CLARA, CALIFORNIA, U.S.A., 1998 JAN 12 (NB) -- By Craig Menefee, Newsbytes. Intel Corp. [NASDAQ:INTC] announced two new mobile Pentium processors with MMX technology Monday morning, one at 166 megahertz (MHz) and the other at 266 MHz. Within hours, notebook PC vendors announced notebooks using the new chips. First out the gate with a product was Gateway 2000, which said its use of the Intel Mobile Module (IMM) will allow it to supply 266MHz Pentiums with MMX immediately. It said the new 266MHz processors with MMX are immediately available on Gateway Solo 2300XL, 5100XL, and 9100XL notebooks. Pricing for the full-featured 266MHz-based XL notebooks begins at $3,699, Gateway said, bringing the firm in well below the announced prices of its early competition. The mobile Pentium processors are made using 0.25-micron fabrication techniques that allow central processing units (CPUs) to run faster, cooler and at lower voltage than the now dominant 0.35-micron designs. As one result of the new quarter-micron chip designs, notebook computers with limited internal cooling capacities have become less hobbled than before by the heat produced by fast CPUs, which in a 0.35-micron design can be enough to melt an uncooled chip. In addition to Gateway 2000, notebook makers that leaped to respond to Intel's announcement included Hewlett-Packard, Micron Electronics, Akia Corporation, Hitachi PC, and the NEC Computer Division of Packard Bell. All promised delivery of a 266MHz notebook system by the end of February. Aside from Gateway, HP came in with the shortest apparent deadline, as a spokesperson told Newsbytes a 266 MHz notebook MMX model should start to ship around the end of January. ______________________________________________________________________ Well said, it looks like Intel's stock is in a real battle today. 27 million shares trading. The shorts are starting to lose their nerve :-) Michael
