CES 2008: Intel reveals first Penryn laptop processors
Posted By: Madan Lal | Jan 8 2008
Intel unveiled one extreme and four mainstream Penryn mobile processors, which incorporate company's new 45-nanometer microprocessor architecture with energy-efficient 'Deep Power Down'. All of them features Intel's Core 2 Extreme and Duo brand, ranging from 2.1-GHz to 2.8-GHz, which is almost equivalent to current processors, but Intel has increased the L2 cache size in three of the five processors to 6MB. Further, it can enhance some application tasks via Penryn's new instruction set, called Streaming Single Instruction and Multiple Data Extensions 4 (SSE4).
