Centrino 2 processors were slated for August, but it might not be that long until we see the new chips in some upcoming mainstream notebooks. Intel is now anticipated the chip to be available to manufacturers as early as mid-July.
AMD are planning a new, single-core CPU running at just 1GHz, intended to rival Intel’s Atom and VIA’s Nano processors. The chip, confirmed in a presentation slide from the company, would be 64-bit and support AMD’s HyperTransport technology, but have a TDP of just 8W.
According to the latest rumors coming out of motherboard manufacturers, Intel is looking to ratchet up the pressure on rival AMD with the introduction of an entry-level Core 2 Quad Q8000 CPU series. The chips will go head to head with AMD’s triple-core processors, which have proved popular for budget PCs. Intel’s first chip of [...]
ASUS have previously said that, until the supply chain problems plaguing Intel’s Atom processor are fixed, their Celeron-based Eee PC 900 will continue to be sold alongside the new, Atom-based Eee PC 901. Although the 900 is cheaper than its eventual-replacement, you could be forgiven for wondering exactly how much more performance you get for [...]
In a week when full-sized notebooks have wrenched back the focus from their budget ultraportable brethren, we’ve had Gateway’s M-152XL on the SlashGear test bench. With a 15.4-inch widescreen display, Intel Core 2 Duo T8300 processor and separate ATI Mobility Radeon graphics, packed into a 6.2 pound chassis, Gateway’s latest is really looking to [...]
Intel are working on a new client/server model for their Mobile Internet Device (MID) platform, which would take advantage of high-speed wireless networking to make up for the relatively low-power processors fitted to the touchscreen devices themselves. Demonstrating the system with a mobile Second Lifeapp, Intel’s solution is to host its own servers on which [...]
With Computex 2008 came more budget ultraportable news than many of us could stomach this week, as several manufacturers took the opportunity to confirm their machines (most of them previewed to death beforehand) and legions of others attempted to get their foot in the OEM door. ASUS finally took the wraps off the Eee PC [...]
Toshiba’s Satellite range went through a shake-up back in April, arguably in an attempt to bring some of the multimedia Qosmio gloss to its more bread & butter machines. Out went drab casings and middle of the road specs, replaced with a stylish new design and the promise of healthy performance. SlashGear has been taking [...]
Perhaps somebody at VIA forgot to send FIC the OpenBook memo, but the company has just unveiled a new budget ultraportable seemingly based on the previous-gen NanoBook reference design. The notebook is unusual because FIC intend both VIA and Intel powered versions: the CE2A1 will run VIA’s C7 processor while the CW0A1 is based on Intel’s [...]
As images go I realise this isn’t the most inspiring, but if you could scrape off the grey gunk - and you’re at all interested in the state of play in the silicon market - you’d get a pleasant surprise. AnandTech have managed, somehow, to get their hands on two of Intel’s Nehalem processors, the [...]
