Narrowing the performance gap between desktop and notebook computers, Intel has unveiled the Pentium 4 processor for notebook computers. The mobile Pentium 4 was launched on March 4th 2002. The mobile Pentium 4 will initially be available in 1.6Ghz and 1.7Ghz versions, moving up to 2Ghz by the end of the year.
The mobile Pentium 4 and the accompanying 845MP chipset offer the performance benefits of a desktop Pentium 4, but tailored for mobile use. An enhanced version of Intel’s SpeedStep technology, for example, slows down the processor when the laptop is running on battery power, while another technology makes the system use less power when in sleep mode.
The 845MP chip set is similar to the 845 chip set used in the desktop Pentium 4 system. It includes a 400Mhz processor-system bus, Intel’s NetBurst architecture, and supports the DDR SDRAM memory type.
Intel first detailed the new chip set at the Microprocessor Forum last year. Mobile Pentium 4 models are already available to buy online from Dell.
