Intel today launched two new families of processors based on Pentium M technology.
The battle in the processor market has heated up. Intel Corp. (Nasdaq:INTC) today announced the launch of two new processor product lines for desktop and laptop computers. Today’s announcement follows last month’s launch of Intel’s new family of processors for servers the Xeon (codenamed “Woodcrest”). Intel says the processors launched today “are the best in the world”.
Basically, Intel today replaced its basic series of processors for desktop computers, such as the Pentium 4 and Celeron with Core 2 Duo series, previously codenamed “Conroe”, based on micro-architecture of the Pentium M processor.
Several weeks ago, Intel announced that it would bring forward the launch of its new series of processors for laptop computers (codenamed “Merom”), considered an improved version of Pentium M micro-architecture based on the Centrino family of processors.
The technology on which the new micro-architecture is based gives the same performance as other processors, but uses less power and generates less heat. Core 2 Duo processors has double the computing core and other improvements. Today’s launch is another step forward in the recognition of Intel’s Haifa R&D center as one of the company’s leading centers in the world, since the technology was developed in Israel.
