Intel announces new Core ULV processors for ultra-portable laptops

Posted on 25 May 2010 at 12:31

Intel has announced the release of its next-generation 32nm Core Ultra-Low Voltage processors for ultra-portable laptops, which it claims will be 32 per cent slimmer and faster than the previous generation.

“Consumers crave laptops that offer style and performance, and the new 2010 Intel Core Ultra-Low Voltage processors for ultra-thin laptops delivers both, in one sleek design,” said Mooly Eden, VP and general manager of Intel’s PC Client Group.

“Intel’s leadership in process technology, combined with breakthrough architecture and design has enabled thinner, lighter and faster laptops than previous models, with terrific battery life. Not only are laptops becoming ultra-portable, but with the new processors inside, users will see faster response times and less waiting,” he added.

The new Core Ultra-Low Voltage processors integrate the graphics chip onto the same package as the dual processing cores, enabling better power efficiency and thermal management.

The chipmaker has also introduced the new Mobile 5 Series chipset for ULV laptops, which promises improved video and audio capabilities, as well as enhanced data and PC protection.

Intel claims that it has had more than 40 design wins from industry heavyweights including Acer, Asus, Lenovo and MSI. Curiously Apple, Dell, Samsung and HP were left out of the announcement, but they’re unlikely to miss this trick and will follow with their own product announcements in due course.
