5 Best Practices for Smartphone Support
According to Maloney, Pine Trail will enable netbooks with improved performance, lower thermals, a reduction in average power for longer battery life, and better graphics. 'Pine Trail' reduces the number of chips from three to two, and this smaller overall footprint enables smaller, thinner designs and lower platform cost. And that's just what we expect from hardware manufacturers: smaller, lighter, more powerful, more time between charges, and lower prices. The chipset is also intended for use in nettops. Maloney also presented the 'Lynnfield' desktop processor, due in the second half of the year. 'Lynnfield' will bring HD to mainstream desktop PCs, along with 40 percent better performance than the 'Penryn' processors released last year. During his presentation, Maloney noted that more than one billion Intel processor based motherboards have been shipped by Taiwan manufacturers. |
