Intel has introduced a version of its mobile Pentium III processor that operates at different speeds depending on whether a notebook PC is plugged in to an AC mains outlet or running on batteries. Traditionally, processor gains have outstripped...
Intel unveiled two Pentium 4 processors, the fastest working at a cycle speed of 2.2GHz, and AMD has released its Athlon XP 2000+ chip, which the company claims is optimised for the latest Windows operating system.
In New York, Intel will release the Pentium-M, an energy-efficient chip that lets notebooks run five or more hours on a single battery charge. The performance number is roughly equivalent to the clock speed of Intel's Pentium 4.
There already was an Itanium version of the Rocks software, but it didn't include all the software components of the version for computers using Intel's Pentium and Xeon or AMD's Athlon chips. Because Itanium understands a completely different set...
Intel delivered a new chipset on schedule, but delayed a matching Pentium 4 processor at the last minute, causing a raft of new PCs to be without a processor, for at least a while. Intel is also expected, within weeks, to launch a new 3.2GHz...
Itanium chips currently include circuitry that lets them run the 32-bit software of 'IA-32' processors such as Xeon or Pentium. Still, it would be vastly better than the current technology for executing software for IA-32, also called x86 after...
