subject: Intel unveils new plans for notebooks and netbooks [print this page] Intel has plans to field notebook laptop manufacturers published. In the third quarter arriving the Calpella platform for notebooks and in September, the Atom N270 out in favor of Pineview.The advent of the Calpella platform in the third quarter, according to the planning. Intel is that the Nehalem platform architecture available for notebooks. The manufacturer has two cpu's on offer: the 45nm baked Clark Field is a quadcore cpu and 32nm production on Arran Dale processor has two cores and a standard integrated graphics core. The chips are combined with the mobile Ibex Peak-chipset, with code names GM57, GM55 and PM55.
Calpella is intended for notebooks with 14 "- 15.6" - 17.1 "- and 18.4" screens and the price from 1200 dollars. In the run up to the appearance of Intel Calpella will reduce the prices of so Montevina notebook manufacturers to dispose of their stock. The big notebook manufacturers like Quanta, COMPAL, MSI, ECS and Clevo are according Digi Times already prepared for the production of Calpella models and will in the first quarter of 2010 with a new batch of notebooks based on this platform are.
For the 12 - and 13-segment, the consumer Intel ultra low voltage platform developed. In addition to energy saving and thin models will also be based on traditional laptops. The prices of these notebooks are between 700 and 1100 dollars are.
Intel took earlier this year at 1.66 GHz geklokte Atom N280, which had an alternative offer for the N270 running at 1.6 GHz. Apparently the demand for the N280 was not expected because Intel would consider this cpu with the GN40 chipset already retired this summer to send. The netbookfabrikanten would then September with the N270 and the 945GSE chipset should do. In that month, the N270 in the range achieved to make room for the Pineview-cpu and Tiger Point M chipset, or the Pine Trail-M platform. The new CPU is smaller than the N270 consumes less energy and can be higher clock speed.
Intel will still use the N270 for netbook design for white-label suppliers. This 8.9 "netbook will have a N270-cpu, the 945GSE chipset, 512MB memory and an 8GB or 16GB of SSD contain. The reference design will further the Moblin 2-run system, which Intel recently to the development Linux Foundation contributed over. The price of these netbooks should be around 256 dollars.
I'm curious what "consumer ultra low voltage" platform laptops do regarding battery life.
Often, the batteries of laptop's not so very long, and some would use a longer battery time but nice
