Other products covered by Perlmutter included the second-generation dual core processors for thin and light notebooks, forthcoming high-performance solid-state SATA drives for notebook and desktop use, and Intel Anti-Theft Technology (AT).

Intel AT, which will appear later this year in laptops from certain OEMs including Lenovo and Fujitsu Siemens, provides a mechanism for coping with lost or stolen PCs. Hardware in the computer can disable the PC completely or just prevent access to encrypted data.

Once "theft mode" kicks in, it can be deactivated by entering a predefined passphrase or a recovery token provided by an organisation's IT department or an external provider such as Absolute Software or Phoenix Technologies.

Other vendors and service providers will offer Intel AT starting in 2009.
