New Intel Low Power Mobile CPUs

January 14th, 2009 Posted in CPUs

Intel is planning to counter the AMD Athlon Neo series CPUs, a set of low power mobile CPUs specifically designed for ultra thin notebooks. With a price range between netbooks and notebooks, ultra thin machines like the HP Pavilion dv2 are receiving a lot of attention from AMD with its Athlon Neo single core CPU, but Intel will soon get in the game with a set of CPUs that are similar to the one used in Apple's MacBook Air. The processors will come in a 22x22 mm packaging and are expected to include ULV chips with rated TDPs as low as 10W. No word yet on clocks or availability.
