(InfoWorld) - Advanced Micro Devices added a triple-core desktop processor to its product road map on Monday, looking to upstage rival Intel ahead of itsÂ Intel Developer ForumÂ (IDF) conference in San Francisco this week. The triple-core Phenom processor is slated for release during the first quarter of 2008, following the release of the firstÂ quad-core Phenom chipsÂ in December. Like the quad-core version of the Phenom, the triple-core version of the chip uses a single silicon chip instead of a multichip package that combines two chips, such as Intel employs for its quad-core chips. AMD's announcement appeared in time to upstage IDF, which starts Tuesday. Intel will offer detailed updates on its processor road map at IDF, including more information on the release of itsÂ Penryn family of processors, slated to hit the market starting in November, and will likely discuss upcoming products, such as the Nehalem family of chips due to be released in 2008. Intel has extended its lead in the processor market over AMD in recent quarters, after stumbling in 2006. But AMD is hoping to draw closer, counting on its recently releasedÂ quad-core Opteron processorÂ and upcoming Phenom chips to reinvigorate its product lineup. The triple-core version of Phenom aims to reach a "broader audience" of PC users than the quad-core chips, AMD said. The company did not reveal the expected clock speeds of the triple-core chips, or say how much they will cost when released.

(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.
