A new processor for the ultra-mobile market is Intel’s latest move to revolutionize mobility computing, from UMPCs to mobile Internet devices and even notebooks and desktops (er, “netbooks” and “net-tops”). While Atom (née Silverthorne) received its brand-new brand name recently, the family of tiny processors, which relies on 45nm technology just like the Penryn line of Core 2 Duo processors, will debut in devices on display at IDF in Shanghai in early April.
It’s no secret that China has come a long way in a short time — from being a country known for manufacturing cheap products for export to being, potentially, the next great IT superpower. National Science Board figures show that in 1994 there were only seven U.S. companies doing research in China. Ten years later, that number had risen to more than 500. Gartner analysts James Popkin and Partha Iyengar wrote, in their 2007 book I.T. and the East, that the world “will witness the birth of a real IT superpower if government restrictions are loosened and the Chinese instinctive talent for entrepreneurialism continues to be encouraged.”
It’s against this backdrop that the Intel Developer Forum in Shanghai, April 2 and 3, 2008, takes ...
Darren Yee, Tech Marketing Engineer Intel Software Solutions Group, and I shot a video demo of TMPGEnc 4.0 Xpress, a popular video encoder that was optimized for Quad-core and Intel Streaming SIMD Extensions 4 (Intel SSE4) instructions on the Penryn family of Intel processors at the Fall 2007 Intel Developer ...
Gordon Moore’s Law will remain in effect for the foreseeable future. Intel Corporation’s new 45nm Penryn microprocessor relies on a new recipe that combines the element Hafnium and metal gate technology to increase performance and significantly reduce eco-unfriendly, wasteful electricity leaks.
“Penryn” is the name for the upcoming family of processors built on new technology that Intel co-Founder Gordon Moore called one of the biggest advances to transistors in 45 years, PodTech’s Jason Lopez talks with Richard Dracott, General Manager of the High Performance Computing Organization in the Digital Enterprise ...
Gordon Moore calls technology the “fundamental enabler” for all other technologies in his live-streamed keynote, available in two videos, here and here. The breadth of technology on display at this year’s Fall IDF in San Francisco confirms the central role that chip technology continues to play in tech ...

The Nintendo Wii may not spark an exercise fad, but, in at least one well-publicized case, it may be leading to some welcome weight loss. Also this week, we stopped by Intel, which was showing off its latest chip, Penryn. The 45 nanometer transistors on this microprocessor are being ...
This video was commissioned by Intel.
Intel announced that it will begin making 45 nanometer chips, code-named Penryn, in the second half of the year. The new microprocessors are the culmination of years of R&D using new materials to improve the efficiency and performance of silicon-based semiconductors.
The company says ...
