One of the pleasures of the 45nm 'Penryn' core, apparently Intel's anticipated notebook-oriented 45nm Core 2 Duo processors, derived from the 'Penryn' core, have begun to appear on the chip giant's roadmap, debuting in Q1 2008, according to the latest leak. Some versions may incorporate 6MB of shared L2 cache.â¦

(InfoWorld) - Just two months after IntelÂ unveiled a package of chips codenamed McCaslinÂ for ultramobile computers, the company rolled out a prototype device running McCaslin's successor, Menlow, at Computex. During a speech at Computex, Intel's Anand Chandrasekher showed a recently completed prototype from Finland's ElektrobitÂ based on Menlow, which won't ship until next year. Chandrasekher is the senior vice president and general manager of Intel's Ultra Mobility Group. Designed by Elektrobit's team of engineers in seven weeks, the Mobile Internet Multimedia Device (MIMD) prototype has a slide-out keyboard, a 4.8-inch touchscreen with a resolution of 1,024 pixels by 600 pixels, and a 3.2-megapixel camera. Instead of Windows, the MIMD uses Midinux, a Linux operating system for mobile devices from China's Red Flag Linux. Proposed specifications for the MIMD include Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, with the choice of adding Mobile WiMax or HSPA (High Speed Packet Acces) cellular access. Other features include an integrated GPS (Global Positioning System), navigation software, a Micro USB port, and a slot for a Micro SD (Secure Digital) memory card. The MIMD is lightweight but felt hot when picked up. Intel executives said power-management features in the software had not been activated in the prototype and production models will run much cooler. MIMD wasn't the only Menlow prototype shown during Chandrasekher's speech. He also showed Compal Electronics' prototype Menlow device, which has been shown before. Like the Elektrobit prototype, the Compal device has a slide-out keyboard and touchscreen. It was also shown running Midinux. Neither Compal or Elektrobit plan to sell these devices under their own names. Elektrobit hopes to license its design to interested companies, while Compal will manufacture its device under contract for another company. When Menlow-powered ultraportables like these become available next year, Intel expects them to have a battery life of up to six hours, nearly double the three hours of battery life typical of devices based on McCaslin. The McCaslin package -- formerly known as the Ultra Mobile Platform 2007 -- consists of Intel's A100 or A110 processors and a chip set. These processors, formerly codenamed Steeley, are basically Celeron-M chips that Intel put into a smaller package designed for ultraportable devices. The Silverthorne processor used in Menlow -- which will be called Ultra Mobile Platform 2008 -- is a new processor design and will be produced using the 45-nanometer process that Intel plans to bring on line later this year. The chips are small, allowing 2,500 of them to be produced on a single 300-millimeter silicon wafer, Chandrasekher said, showing off a wafer he said contained Silverthorne chips as an example. In Menlow, the Silverthorne processor will be paired with Poulsbo, a single-chip chip set that helps to further reduce the space required for a device's motherboard. McCaslin's chipset is composed of two chips. Intel isn't the only chipmaker that hopes to see demand for small, ultraportable devices take off. Taiwan's Via TechnologiesÂ took the wraps off its Mobile ITX motherboardÂ form factor andÂ NanoBook reference designÂ at Computex. The first NanoBook device, from Packard Bell, will hit European markets during the third quarter.

(InfoWorld) - A mobile version of Intel's Core 2 Extreme chip will hit the market during the third quarter in high-end gaming notebooks equipped with Nvidia's SLI graphics system. "You're going to see an extreme version of Merom on the notebook with Nvidia SLI in the third quarter," said Sean Maloney, executive vice president and general manager of Intel's sales and marketing group, during an interview. Merom is the code name forÂ Intel's current line of mobile chips. Maloney announced the upcoming chip during a keynote presentation at the Computex exhibition, which started today in Taipei. "It's going to be for a hardcore gamer who values performance over anything and my suspicion is that you're going to see them in 17-inch [notebooks] and above, but we'll see," Maloney said. "At the Santa Rosa launch, there were 21-inch notebooks introduced." Combined with Nvidia's SLI technology, which uses two graphics chips instead of one, notebooks based on the chip are intended to replace high-end desktops used by gamers. This is the first time that Intel has developed a high-end mobile chip for gamers. Previously, the company's products for this market where designed for desktops, although that didn't stop Asustek Computer from shoehorning a Core 2 Extreme desktop chip intoÂ its C90 notebook, which was unveiled at Computex. "The notebook business is getting to be a big, big, big business and it's splitting out into multiple segments," Maloney said. Next year, Intel plans to offer mobile chips that often even more performance for gamers. At the Intel Developer Forum held in Beijing during April, the company revealed plans for a quad-core mobile chip to be released next year for gamers. That chip will be based on Penryn, a family of 45-nanometer chips that Intel plans to release later this year. Â

(InfoWorld) - Intel will detail its future Moorestown platform for ultramobile PCs on Wednesday, even though the chips won't be available until 2009. Moorestown is scheduled to replace Menlow, a package of chips set to debut early next year. Menlow is designed for ultramobile PCs and includes the dual-core Silverthorne processor and Poulsbo single-chip chipset. These chips can be paired with modules forÂ WiMax, Wi-Fi, or 3G mobile servicesÂ for hardware makers that want to add wireless support to their devices. Moorestown's biggest advantages will be smaller size and lower power consumption. An ultramobile PC based on Moorestown will consume one-tenth of the power that a Menlow-based device requires when idling, Intel said. Anand Chandrasekher, senior vice president and general manager of Intel's Ultra Mobility Group, is scheduled to discuss some details of Moorestown in a speech at the Intel Developer Forum in San Francisco. Moorestown will consist of an SOCÂ (system-on-chip) design that packs a CPU, graphics processor, video, and a memory controller into a single chip. Previously, many of these capabilities were handled by a separate chipset. Combining them with the CPU allows Intel to reduce the space required by the chips and save power. In addition to the SOC, Moorestown will include a communications chip, which will handle input/output for storage and wireless connections.
