Oct 1, 2001 — by Rick Lehrbaum — from the LinuxDevices Archive — viewsJohn G. Spooner of ZDNet News reports that Intel today launched a set of new low-power Pentium III-M chips. Spooner writes . . .
” . . . They include low-voltage chips at 733MHz and 750MHz, two at 800MHz, and an ultralow-voltage 700MHz model. The chipmaker also announced a 1.2GHz Pentium III-M, which runs at 800MHz in battery mode. The Pentium III-M, which uses Intel's new 130-nanometer (0.13-micron) manufacturing process, was introduced in late July. “
“Intel offers three flavors of mobile Pentium III chips: standard, low power and ultralow power. The latter two offer lower power consumption and clock speeds and are designed to be used in smaller notebooks, such as ultra-portable models weighing 4 pounds or less. All three also include the company's SpeedStep chip to scale back in clock speed and voltage to extend battery life . . .”
