Centrino Adds Juice To Mobile PCs A new technology from chipmaker Intel Corporation promises to give mobile computer users “greater freedom to connect in new places and in new ways.”
First introduced in March of this year, Intel Centrino technology includes a new processor that delivers higher performance and lower power consumption, which results in longer battery life, says Santa Clara, Calif.-based Intel. Centrino also provides wireless network communications and other features designed to increase battery life and provide thinner and lighter notebook computer designs.
“Unwiring the PC will change the way people use computers, allowing them to communicate, be productive or be entertained wherever and whenever they want,” stated Craig Barrett, Intels chief executive officer, when the technology was released. “This breakthrough innovation, together with industry-wide investment and Wi-Fi hotspot deployments, brings new computing and communications capabilities to businesses and consumers, adding value to mobile PCs.”
