Intel CEO Sees Internet Boosting Consumer Electronics
Speaking at the 2008 Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, Intel CEO Paul Otellini presented a vision of an “always-on”, “always-connected” experiences for consumers. Whether sitting in their homes, driving their cars, or riding their bikes, Intel will want to serve the blooming community of users who will use this technology. In his keynote address, Otellini detailed several new technologies including Intel’s “Canmore” – system-on-a-chip, and “Menlow” – a low-power processor designed for mobile internet devices.
Intel expects to ship its first low-power processor and chipset platform designed for mobile Internet devices in the first half of this year. Called “Menlow,” it is a package that includes a chipset with a single-chip design, code-named “Poulsbo,” and a processor code-named “Silverthorne.” The entire package is five times smaller and consumes 10 times less power than ultra-low-voltage mobile processors introduced in 2006, Otellini said.
