As Paul Otellini said, Intel will launch next new processors models that will be specifically designed to have a low power consumption rate. Intel aims at incorporating some of the technologies used in Pentium M processors in server and desktop CPUs.
Otellini exemplified the benefits of the new Intel processors by computing that if at this point there
were 100 million PCs, the energy savings would amount to $1 billion world wide.
What is the next step in the race for energy savings? A better battery! Intel has announced that in collaboration with Matsushita (Panasonic) Battery Industrial will co-develop a technology to extend the life of laptop batteries on
The companies will combine Matsushita's expertise in development of next-generation high-capacity lithium-ion batteries and Intel's mobile platform technology.
Matsushita Battery has been developing a next-generation lithium-ion battery that will enable all day computing. The company plans to release a 2.9Ah battery, about 30% higher in capacity than today's mainstream batteries, in April 2006.
The next-generation lithium-ion battery is expected to be applicable to cellular phones and digital cameras as well.
