Intel heeft vandaag op het Intel Developer Forum een 700MHz low-voltage versie van de mobile Pentium III aangekondigd. De low-voltage PIII's werken op een voltage van 1,35V en zijn voorzien van Intel's Speedstep technologie. Speedstep verlaagt de kloksnelheid naar 500MHz en het voltage naar 1,1V als de processor in Battery Optimized Mode draait. Volgens Intel daalt het gemiddelde stroomverbruik in anti-turbo mode tot minder dan 1Watt. Naast de low-voltage mobile PIII's, bedoeld voor mini-notebooks, levert Intel de normale mobile PIII in kloksnelheden tot 850MHz en is er een 500MHz ultra low-voltage PIII voor sub-notebooks:
Calif., Feb. 27, 2001 - Intel Corporation today announced a new addition to its family of low-power processors for small mobile PCs. The Low Voltage mobile Pentium® III processor 700 MHz featuring Intel® SpeedStep™ technology delivers the best performance, lowest power consumption and extended battery life to new categories of mini-notebooks weighing less than 3 pounds. This processor is shipping in volume today with systems available from leading PC vendors.
Specifications and Pricing
Intel's new Low Voltage mobile Pentium III processor featuring Intel SpeedStep technology at 700 MHz is the fastest mobile processor for mini-notebooks. In Maximum Performance Mode the processor runs at 700 MHz and operates at 1.35 volts. In Battery Optimized Mode both clock frequency and voltage are scaled down and the processor runs at 500 MHz, at 1.1 volts, while consuming less than 1 watt of average power.**
In 1,000-unit quantities, in Ball Grid Array (BGA) packaging, the Low Voltage mobile Pentium III processor 700 MHz featuring Intel SpeedStep technology is priced at $316. The processor features a 100 MHz system bus; 256 Kilobyte full-speed Advanced Transfer Cache; Advanced System Buffering; and Streaming SIMD extensions for higher system performance.
