Intel Corporation today expanded the Intel(R) Pentium(R) M processor and Intel(R) Celeron(R) M processor families with products aimed at the mini-notebook, sub-notebook and tablet PC segments that represent small mobile PCs typically weighing around 3 pounds.

Intel's new offerings include the Intel Pentium M processor Low Voltage 738, the Intel Pentium M processor Ultra-Low Voltage 733 and 723, and the Intel Celeron M processor Ultra Low Voltage 353. All four processors are based on Intel's mobile micro-architecture and built using Intel's industry-leading high-volume 90-nanometer (nm) process technology.

The Low Voltage and Ultra Low Voltage Intel Pentium M processors, in conjunction with the Intel 855 chipset family and the Intel PRO/Wireless network connection family, are key components of Intel Centrino mobile technology for mini-notebooks, sub-notebooks and tablet PCs. These new low voltage Intel Pentium M processors feature such architectural enhancements as a 2MB Level 2 cache, a power-optimized 400 MHz system bus, and enhanced data pre-fetcher and enhanced register access manager for fast execution of instructions at low power. These new processors also include Enhanced Intel Speedstep(R) Technology, which helps optimize application performance and power consumption to enable extended battery life.

The Intel Celeron M processor Ultra Low Voltage 353 offers users a balanced level of mobile-optimized processor technology and exceptional value for small mobile PCs. Intel Celeron M processors are compatible with the Intel 855 chipset family as well as the Intel 852GM chipset to enable cost-effective, scalable platforms for system manufacturers.
