Intel announces more wireless internet technology


A new range of technology directed at pocket-sized wireless internet devices was unveiled by Intel recently.

Dubbed Moorestown, the new technology combines CPU, graphics, video and memory controller all contained in a single chip. It is due to be ready for use in 2009 or 2010. Also, soon Intel's Montevina notebooks, which feature WiMAX are to become available, as well as the revolutionary new product called Menlow, a platform for mobile technology.

Intel's Anand Chandrasekher said: "As we put all this together we'll be taking the size of the components down by half again. "We'll take the power down by half again, and we will take, most importantly, idle power down by a factor of 10X. The kinds of improvements we're making in Moorestown are effectively what enable this." Menlow and then later Moorestown is to "unleash the internet", Mr Chandrasekhe added. The Intel technology was being shown at the Developer Forum taking place in San Francisco.
