Intel
announced a new Pentium III for Mobile Computers - Pentium III-M. The Processor
is based on the new 0.13 micron processing technology.
The new family of Intel Pentium® III processor-M products feature architectural enhancements to increase performance, reduce power and improve battery life. |
| The mobile
Pentium III processor-M is the world's most advanced mobile processor, providing
almost a 50 percent performance gain over the previous mobile Intel® Pentium®
III processor on data intensive applications." The CPU "features
several architectural advancements including: 512KB L2 cache (twice the
L2 cache size of the previous generation), the new Data Prefetcher (an L2
cache enhancement that results in improved performance) and a 133-MHz processor
system bus." These improvements sound very good.
It will also support Enhanced Intel SpeedStep™ technology that automatically switches between Maximum Performance Mode and Battery Optimized Mode based on the application demand on the processor. Speeds available are: 866 MHz, 933 MHz, 1.0 GHz, 1.06 GHz, and 1.13 GHz. Later this year, Intel will extend their Pentium III-M range. Notebooks featuring Pentium III-M CPU'S will soon be available from all leading notebook manufacturers. |
