Processor design driven by style and slim looks of mobile computers

It's not just GHz, MIPS, Watts and Giga Bytes, now the netbooks, notebooks and tablets are also sold based on stylish and slim looks. Mobile computers are getting thinner of not exceeding 0.8 Inch and lighter to just 1 to 2 pounds. To be in trend with this Intel has made available a new Intel Core Processor manufactured using its 32 nanometers process supporting thin notebook design. Intel says these 32nm chips deliver 32 percent slimmer laptops and more than 32 percent better performance, highlighting the magic number '32'.

When the semiconductor technology moves to 32nm lot more chips on motherboard sink into the processor chip itself, mainly the HD graphic processor. Intel has done this in its 32nm processors namely Core i7, Core i5 and Core i3 processors.

The recently announced Mobile Intel 5 Series Chipset designed for use with the ULV-based laptops supports multiple video and audio options and Intel Anti-Theft Technology to protect the computer from theft.

Intel said more than 40 designs are expected from computer makers such as Acer, Asus, Lenovo and MSI, and will be offered at a variety of price points beginning in June.
