Intel ships samples of Westmere PC chips

14.04.2009

The laptop chips will be manufactured using a 32-nm process, an upgrade over Intel's current 45-nm process. This should make them cheaper to manufacture, work faster and give better laptop battery life.

Before Arrandale, Intel is scheduled to release new chips this quarter as part of the Montevina Plus laptop platform. It will include new low-voltage chips for thin and small laptops that provide full PC functionality but are cheaper than existing ultraportable laptops.
