Intel Expands Mobile CPU Lineup

Coming to reinforce its dominance over the mobile market, Intel has revealed the existence of several new central processing units, four to be exact, all of which are dual-core models from the Core or Pentium series.

Intel has dominated the CPU market for quite a while and was, until some time ago, the more or less only supplier of consumer-oriented mobile CPUs.

Now, the Santa Clara, California-based chip maker has unleashed four dew chips for the laptop market.

As some may remember, the company has already unveiled a number of such mobile products, eight in number to be exact.

The ones now made public are two Core models and two Pentium series processors, all four of which boast dual-core designs and are constructed based on the 32nm manufacturing process technology.

The Pentium P6100 can be seen as the least formidable of the lot, with a clock frequency of 2 GHz, a thermal design power (TDP) of 35W and a L3 cache memory of 3 MB.

The Pentium P6200 is slightly more powerful, at 2.13 GHz, though its cache memory and TDP are identical to those of its sibling.

As for the Core series chips, they are the Core i3-380M and Core i5-460M, which are more or less identical, save for the fact that the former lacks Turbo Boost technology.

The base clock speed is of 2.53 GHz, while the Turbo Boost upper limit is of 2.8 GHz, the rest of the specification sheet including a L3 cache of 3MB and the same TDP of 35W as the Pentium chips.

These products have not actually been added to Intel's price list, instead having been revealed by a report made by CPU World.

As such, it is not exactly known for how much each of them will sell once they do become available as options on new mobile computers.
