Intel intros Atom low-power microprocessors, aimed at ultra-mobile devices
Intel has chosen the name “Atom” for its new line of low-power microprocessors, specifically designed for use in mobile devices, UMPCs and some desktop PCs.
Intel wants to cash in on the increasing popularity of mobile devices, with the idea of a $250 Internet-connected pocket device that they’ve called the “netbook”.
The Atom processor is less than 25 square millimetres, based on 45 nanometre technology. They were previously code-named Silverthorne and Diamondville.
New (rumoured) Intel processor for MacBook Pro and Dell notebooks promises more rivalry between the formats!
Processor nutters, rear your pasty white little faces and check out this nugget of truth rumour. Apple and Dell (who Microsoft smooches with most of all), are apparently releasing laptops containing Intel’s glorious new 45-nanonmetre Penryn processor – at the same time!
Someone needs to synch up their Google Calenders, tsk.
This isn’t rumoured to be in the ‘foreseeable future’ either, as according to reports, it could be as early as next week. Apple’s MacBook Pro range has been tipped as the possible product upgrade, with improved…
Tim Berners-Lee tops "tech influencer" chart… but more importantly, Jobs beats Gates!
The widely acknowledged founder of the World Wide Web, Tim Berners-Lee, has been named as the most influential person in technology over the past 150 years for his impact on society and groundbreaking technology.
Intel invited a panel of experts to vote on the world’s 45 most influential technologists, and came up with some interesting results.
Following Sir Tim come the two founders of Google, Sergey Brin and Larry Page, in second and third places. In fourth place is Gugilelmo Marconi, inventor of the radiotelegraph system, and in fifth place, Jack Kilby, inventor of the integrated circuit and calculator.
Intel exits One Laptop Per Child initiative, project director not bothered
Intel yesterday announced that it had left the One Laptop Per Child (OLPC) project, run by MIT professor Nicholas Negroponte, because of a stipulation from the organisers that they support the project exclusively.
According to Intel, the OLPC board “asked Intel to end its support for non-OLPC platforms including the Classmate PC and other systems. They wanted us to focus our support exclusively on the OLPC system.”
Intel are convinced (as I am) that there will be many solutions to getting affordable, accessible technology into the hands of people in developing countries. Perhaps the OLPC thought that Intel was some tinpot organisation who didn’t have the resources to concentrate on more than one project at a time. For an open-source initiative, their stance seems a little peculiar.
Toshiba intros first notebook with rewritable HD DVD drive
Toshiba this week announced that it is to launch its first notebook PC with built-in rewritable HD DVD drive.
The Qosmio Series 2 will initially launch in Japan, where arguably they can put it to much more use that us lowly high-definition-catcher-uppers in the West.

Intel's concept "iPhone clone", and the future of super-powerful mobile devices
Intel has shown off a concept mobile device based on a new processor called Moorestown which is due to go into production in around 2009. From the picture, it looks very much like a narrow iPhone, and in reality…
USB version 3 to offer 10x speed increase over USB 2.0

The white surround of the last Core 2 Duo iMac has been replaced with ‘professional’ aluminium and glass enclosures. It now boasts up to a 2.8GHz Core 2 Duo chip, 500GB hard drive, 8x speed double-layer SuperDrive, ATI Radeon HD 2600 PRO with 256MB memory, and iSight camera.
Giles Deacon for Intel Asus W5 limited edition laptops
Fancy our fashionably-attired sisters over at Catwalk Queen, getting the scoop on a new laptop range from Intel before us! Alright, so they have been designed by legendary fashion designer Giles Deacon, but that hasn’t stopped us from getting in a strop that they found out before us.
I might’ve said yesterday that I would never own a fashion mobile phone, like the new possible Samsung/Armani collaboration, but I think I’ll have to swallow my words already, less than 24 hours later, as I’d happily buy one of these fashion laptops…
