What's new?

With the changes that have taken place in the last three years in the computer industry, we have seen a decrease in commercial growth and an increase in consumer growth. Prices have decreased while technologies have improved and this has made it easier for the consumer to purchase new computers, whether they are mobile or desktop. Many home users are now utilizing their computers to transcode video, edit photos, compose or convert music, play online or installed games, create spread sheets and watch HD Video. 

With the launch of the new Intel Core i5/i3 Clarkdale Dual Core processors, that also contain a GPU in the same die, those who seek to indulge in any of the above will have the option, be it mobile or desktop, to fulfill many mainstream computer needs. On the 7th of January, 2010, Intel will be launching new processor chipsets and wireless options which will encompass the entire i Core Series. Intel will be introducing the 32nm processor, as well as on die HD graphics processors, which are 45nm.

The new series of Mobile processors will be codenamed Arrandale and the desktop will be Clarkdale. These are Dual Core Processors with onboard video.

Product Features

Intel® Hyper-Threading Technology

 "Intel® Hyper-Threading Technology (Intel® HT Technology) enables each physical core to run multiple threads dynamically. This results in quad processing with two physical processor cores. This capability is essential in today‘s multi-threaded software environments helping to improve overall system responsiveness thus enhancing user experience. Applications that are programmed to run on more than two threads will trigger the CPU to enable up to four threads to run on a dual core Clarkdale processor. Some of the threaded applications that benefit from this technology are Adobe Premiere Elements* 8, Microsoft Office Excel* and Microsoft Windows Live Movie Maker*."

"Intel® Turbo Boost Technology intelligently delivers higher performance when there is available headroom available to the processor. This technology dynamically increases the frequency of the active cores if the processor is operating below the rated power, current and temperature specification limits. The maximum frequency of Intel® Turbo Boost Technology is dependent upon the number of active cores. The amount of time the processor spends in the Intel® Turbo Boost Technology state depends on the workload and operating environment, providing the performance you need, when and where you need it. Applications that are lightly threaded can experience up to 3.46 GHz of CPU frequency on a 3.33 GHz part. Some of the lightly threaded applications that benefit from this technology are Apple iTunes*, Microsoft Windows Live Photo Gallery*, Adobe Premiere Elements* and Adobe Photoshop Lightroom*."
