Yousef and Intel Investors - Intel Demonstrates Superior Fab Technology with New 300 MHz Mobile Pentium II As Intel introduces its new 300 MHz Mobile Pentium II Processor, it has REDUCED the operating voltage from 1.7 volts to 1.6 volts while IMPROVING the SPEED from 266 MHz to 300 MHz. CV^2f calculations peg the power dissipation at dead even (assuming Constant C) for the 300 MHz part vs, the 266 MHz part. I'm pretty sure the lumped capacitance must be less, as the following article describes the 300 MHz part as LOWER in Power. Once again, Yousef, your assertions about Intel's advanced transistor performance appear to be dead on target, vis-a-vis the "competition". Paul {===============================} zdnet.com Newest mobile Pentium II consumes least power By John G. Spooner, PC Week Online September 8, 1998 3:35 pm ET Intel Corp. on Wednesday plans to introduce its fastest, lowest-power mobile processor to date. The Santa Clara, Calif., company's new mobile Pentium II processor running at 300MHz is expected to usher in a parade of new notebooks. The processor's low power consumption is made possible by advances in manufacturing. The chip consumes 1.6 volts, as opposed to the 1.7 volts consumed by the 266MHz mobile Pentium II, sources said. It will be priced at $710 in quantities of 1,000 when purchased in a mobile module, which includes the processor and other components such as a voltage regulator, or $637 for a minicartridge, which has fewer components, allowing it to fit into notebooks as thin as 1 inch. In addition to notebook vendors such as IBM, Compaq Computer Corp., Dell Computer Corp. and Gateway Inc., Micron Electronics Inc. and Hewlett-Packard Co. will each offer two new models with the 300MHz processor. Micron will refresh its two notebook lines with the chip while dropping prices on models with 266MHz and 233MHz Pentium II processors. The Nampa, Idaho, company will offer a 300MHz Transport Trek2 starting at $2,999. The machine offers a 14.1-inch thin film transistor display, 64MB of RAM, a 3.2GB hard drive and a 24-speed CD-ROM drive, sources said. A new 300MHz GoBook 2 model will also start at $2,999, with a 12.1-inch TFT display, 32MB of RAM, a 3.2GB hard drive and a 24-speed CD-ROM, the sources said. HP, of Palo Alto, Calif., will introduce its new Omnibook 7150, which offers the 300MHz processor, a 14.1-inch TFT display, 64MB of RAM, an 8.1GB hard drive and a 24-speed CD-ROM drive, priced at $4,999, sources said. A new Omnibook 2100 model will offer the processor with a 13.3-inch display, 32MB of RAM and a 4GB hard drive for $3,999, sources said. Intel (INTC), Micron (MUEI) and HP (HWP) officials declined to comment. Intel can be reached at www.intel.com. Micron is at www.micronpc.com. HP can be reached at www.hp.com/omnibook.
