The chip maker leader, Intel, has introduced its latest processors based on 45nm fabrication process. All of them includes the company’s latest innovations that boost a PC’s speed, reduces power requirements, saves on battery life, helps the environment and comes in smaller packages for more fashionable and compact computer designs. According to Intel, the processors are up to 25 percent smaller than previous versions and are free of environment harmful elements such as lead and halogen. Among the 16 new products, 12 are designed for new laptops and desktops products and four are for servers.

Of sixteen, five are notebook chips based on Intel Centrino technology for laptops, and delivers improved content and video capabilities with HD DVD and Blu-Ray support with an optional third-party decoder. Centrino-based notebooks also come with the Mobile Intel 965 Express Chipset and wireless networking including the optional support for 802.11n networks with Intel Next-Gen Wireless-N. The firm also intents to launch its first-generation low-power platform chipset that will help deliver a range of ultra mobile and mobile Internet devices from a growing ecosystem of customers.
