Intel’s Paul Otellini provided an overview of the advantages of the upcoming 45nm based Penryn processors at the Intel Developer Forum. The processors use high-k metal gate and will ship in November. Penryn will have small size, low-power requirements and high-performance capabilities. Intel plans to introduce 15 new processors based on this technology by end of 2007 and another 20 new processors in 2008. Otellini said, “ We expect our Penryn processors to provide up to 20% performance increase while improving energy efficiency.” The new 45nm processors and 65nm chipsets would use halogen free packaging technology beginning next year, making them more environment friendly. Otellini also announced that a version of penryn dual-core processor operating at 25 watts would be available on the upcoming Montevina platform, which will include Intel’s mobile WiMAX. Notebooks based on this platform will be introduced in early 2008. Intel’s CEO also did the first public demonstration of Intel’s Nehalem processor and said that the company will deliver new processor based on Nehalem architecture in second half of 2008. Nehalem processor will be the first chip to utilize QuickPath Interconnect System Architecture that includes integrated memory controller technology and improved communication links between system components to significantly improve overall system performance.
