Intel launches all new Core Processor family
Dubai, February 1, 2010
Intel Corporation has introduced its all new 2010 Intel Core family of processors into the UAE market, delivering unprecedented integration and smart performance, including Intel Turbo Boost Technology1 for laptops, desktops and embedded devices.
The company showcased tens of systems from local assemblers and multinational companies based on the new processors.
The introduction of new Intel Core i7, i5 and i3 chips coincides with the arrival of Intel's groundbreaking new 32 nanometer (nm) manufacturing process - which for the first time in the company's history - will be used to produce and deliver processors and features at a variety of price points, and integrate high-definition graphics inside the processor.
Intel has unveiled more than 25 processors, including new Intel Core i7, i5 and i3 processors. More than 400 laptop and desktop PC platform designs are expected from computer makers worldwide based on these products.
Multiple systems from different PC manufacturers are already on shelves in retail outlets in the UAE, with expectations that the range will expand in the next coming weeks for greater customer choice.
New 2010 Intel Core processors are manufactured on the company's 32nm process, which includes Intel's second-generation high-k metal gate transistors. This technique, along with other advances, helps increase a computer's speed while decreasing energy consumption.
'We are excited today to showcase our latest and greatest family of processors to our valued partners, retailers and customers, in the gulf region. For the first time, there's a new family of Intel processors with the industry's most advanced technology available immediately at virtually every PC price point.” said Nassir Nauthoa, Intel General Manager for the GCC.
“These smart processors adapt to an individual's needs, automatically providing a 'boost' of performance for everyday applications. They become energy efficient to the point of shutting down processing cores or reducing power consumption to provide performance when people need it, and energy efficient when they don't,' Nauthoa added.
Based on Intel's award-winning 'Nehalem' microarchitecture, these new desktop, mobile and embedded processors deliver smart performance for music, gaming, videos, movies, photos, social networking and other demanding mainstream applications.
In addition, ultra-thin laptops with all new 2010 Intel Core processors inside provide a balance of performance, style and long battery life for sleek systems less than an inch thick.-TradeArabia News Service
