“Intel will redraw its mobile road map next month.
The chipmaker will, over the next few weeks, release several faster Pentium M and mobile Pentium 4 processors for notebook PCs. The new mobile chips will mark a shift in strategy for Intel. With the Pentium M–the processor that forms the core of its Centrino chip family for wireless notebooks–taking hold in the market, the company will change the mission of its mobile Pentium 4, also known as the Pentium 4-M, by boosting its clock speed to appeal more to consumers.
Intel will start the process next week, when it plans to boost the speed of its Pentium M to 1.7GHz, sources familiar with its plans said. Currently, Intel’s fastest Pentium M runs at 1.6GHz.” [News.com]
