Intel is actively discouraging sales of its new Huron River chips, according to sources at notebook manufacturers, despite machines based on the new processors expected in early Q1 2011. DigiTimes sources claim that ASUS, HP, Dell and Acer will all continue to push existing Calpella-based notebooks for the next three months, as Intel reduce Huron River discounts in an attempt to clear sixth-gen Centrino chip stock.

Intel freeze CULV refresh over Calpella success?

Chris Davies, Apr 2nd 2010 Discuss [0]

Another rumored blow to Intel's CULV range of ultra-low-voltage processors for ultra-thins, as DigiTimes' sources at notebook manufacturers claim the silicon company have delayed the launch of a new CULV line-up. The decision - which would push the new ultra-thin CPUs back into Q3 2010 - is blamed in part on Acer's decision to eschew the CULV chips in favor of low-voltage Calpalla-series processors for their newest TimelineX notebooks.

It's been a month since Fujitsu outed their LifeBook T900 convertible tablet, and it looks like there's another, smaller model on the way. Fresh to the FCC is the Fujitsu LifeBook T730, currently lacking anything bar a sample label and a diagram of its underside. That means we have to make a few guesstimates about what the potential specs might be. Read The Full Story

Chris Davies, Mar 18th 2010 Discuss [0]

Acer's enthusiastic embrace of Intel's latest Core i3, i5 and i7 "Calpella" notebook processors for their upcoming TimelineX range has seemingly thrown the chipmaker's production lines into a panic, with DigiTime's manufacturing sources reckoning that the CPUs are now in relatively short supply. That's led Intel to prioritize the orders of first-tier manufacturers, meaning it may take a little longer for niche market notebooks to arrive. Read The Full Story

Acer are apparently planning a new ultrathin notebook sometime this year, positioned to rival Apple's MacBook Air and using an ultra-low voltage processor. Unlike other CULV notebooks, however, the as-yet-unnamed Acer machine would use one of Intel's next-gen Calpella ULV processors, and as such offer the performance of a conventional laptop despite measuring just 1.9 cm thick.
