Tony and all, Mobile Pentium II chip coming April 2 infoworld.com Mobile Pentium II chip coming April 2 By Andy Santoni InfoWorld Electric Posted at 11:23 AM PT, Mar 2, 1998 PASADENA, Calif. - Bowing to user demands for high-performance mobile computers, Intel will introduce mobile versions of the P6 Pentium II processor on April 2, an Intel executive said at Mobile Insights 98, here Sunday. The 233- and 266-MHz Pentium II mobile processors aim to bring mobile PC performance near that of desktop PCs, said Stephen Nachtsheim, Intel vice president and general manager of the company's mobile and handheld products group. "We're trying to make mobile-specific processors close to their desktop brethren," said Nachtsheim. The chips will appear in systems at about the same time, according to sources. For example, NEC will offer systems in its Versa 5000 Series with 233- and 266-MHz Pentium II processors, 14-inch LCD screens, a choice of hard drive sizes, and the company's VersBay for Zip, LS-120, or other drives. Weighing less than 4.5 pounds and measuring less than 1.5 inches thick, the systems will cost from $3,000 to $4,000. Even a newcomer to the notebook market, monitor supplier MAG Innovision, will offer Pentium II-based systems at Intel's product introduction, according to sources. Nachtsheim sees the transition from the Pentium MMX to the Pentium II happening this year, even more quickly than last year's move from the Pentium to the Pentium MMX. Pentium II processors will appear in super notebooks, mainstream notebooks, and ultraportables, he said. Unlike earlier processor transitions, which saw new devices appear first in high-end systems then filter down to mainstream and, eventually, low-cost PCs, the Pentium II will find its way into a wide range of system from the beginning, Nachtsheim said. "You're going to see this in the mainstream from the get-go," said Nachtsheim. Intel Corp., in Santa Clara, Calif., is at (800) 628-8686 or intel.com. Dan Briody contributed to this report.
