Intel
has announced a new dual-core notebook CPU that can run on less than one watt of
power.
The Ultra-low Voltage Core Duo CPU will be on the market during the second
half of this year, and will consume "a median average" of just 0.75 watts, the
company said in a statement.
Speaking at the
Computex trade show
in Taipei today, Intel senior vice president Anand Chandrasekher said that
HP,
Dell
and other vendors are already developing notebook PCs which will use the chip.
Notebooks remain a very important market for Intel's chips, according to
Chandrasekher, who claimed that, contrary to popular belief, notebook sales are
still growing faster than those of gadgets such as mobile phones and
Apple's
iPod.
Chandrasekher also noted that the low-power chips are a perfect match for
handheld PCs based on
Microsoft's
Ultra
Mobile PC platform specification.
Intel has been surprised by competition from Taiwanese chip maker
VIA
Technologies in this market. VIA's low-power, low-cost C7-M CPU has found
its way into handheld devices like the PaceBlade Easy Book E7.
