Intel Core 2 (Conroe) Performance Review

It has finally happened, Intel will be putting to rest the long standing Pentium branding for their next generation of desktop microprocessors in favor of a totally new line-up simply called Core. However, this isn't just a re-branding exercise for Intel. The Core processors mark Intel's first true major revamp of microprocessor technology since their launch of the NetBurst microarchitecture with the Willamette core Pentium 4 backin the year 2000 and before you know it, we're already at Core 2. Now we're getting ahead of ourselves. Considering the major gear shift at Intel to bring about this day, let's take a brief recap on the chain of events that have lead to the development of the new Core processors.AMD's sharp rise in market share from their hugely successful Athlon XP, Athlon 64 and dual-core Athlon 64 X2 processors in the past two years has been a rude awakening for Intel. AMD was even making inroads into the server market with their Opteron products and went as bold as to openly challenge Intel's dual-core Xeon on both performance and power consumption fronts in 2005 - a challenge which Intel chose to ignore resultingin defacto bragging rights for AMD for a period of time.Intel of course has not been sitting idle all this while and we've seen a huge effort in promoting their next generation microarchitecture over the past year, which was basically Intel telling the world 'Wait and see, we'll be back and then we will rock!'. Intel officially unveiled the revolutionary Core microarchitecture early this year at IDF Spring 2006 in San Franciscoand wet our lips with a preview of the enhanced power saving features (if not the performance) with the launch of the Core Duo (codenamed Yonah) dual-core mobile processor.

Intel Metro - World’s Thinnest Laptop

Intel, the king in computer and processors industry has recently unveiled its Metro Notebook, which aims to make the laptop super-mega sexy and super light form factor. No doubt it was challenge for the Intel engineers to shape up the World’s Thinnest Laptop. Intel metro is a stylish, latest, fastest computing and as thin as Motorola Razr. This Intel mobile metro laptop is actually less than 0.7 inches and an inch thicker than Motorola’s iconic cell phone, conversely makes the world’s thinnest laptop. It is now identified as the world’s lightest small-sized portable computers. Besides being thinnest and lightest the machine materials further aims to communicate first-class quality and coolness. It is made up of outstanding champagne-colored magnesium and is plated with subtle gold accents. Intel obviously like to see higher sales of this amazing portable notebook, particularly the fatter-margin devices at the high end of the industry.

Intel low cost laptops

Intel Corp., the world’s largest chipmaker has announced the collaboration with Asustek Computer Inc. , the world’s largest maker of computer motherboards, to produce notebook PCs costing as less as $200. This will be targeted at the mass markets in developing countries.Earlier, Intel has distributed laptops to children in developing countries but it still has to put them into mass production which was planned by the One Laptop Per Child (OLPC) Foundation.

Intel and Assutek’s low-cost laptop would be full-fledged, low-end notebooks, while the OLPCs are green-and-white plastic, kid-friendly laptops that can be powered with hand cranks when electricity is not available costing about $180 per laptop.

“It’s another way of solving the same problem. The world is a big place and there’s room for lots of these things,” says Sean Maloney, head of Intel worldwide sales and marketing in a telephone interview ahead of his keynote speech at Taiwan’s Computex, the world’s No. 2 computer fair.
