News highlights
- The number 32 is key -- Intel’s chip design and unique manufacturing dubbed “32 nanometers” delivers 32 percent slimmer laptops and more than 32 percent better performance.
- Smarter, faster processors offer the perfect balance of style and performance. Ultra-thin laptops typically are approximately 0.8 to 1 inches thick and 1 to 2 pounds lighter than traditional laptops.
- Chips include a multitude of new technologies to enhance performance while offering unparalleled battery life, such as Intel Turbo Boost, which intelligently provides an immediate boost when needed for certain software and Intel HD integrated high definition graphics.
SANTA CLARA, Calif., May 24, 2010 – Intel Corporation introduced new Intel Core processors today, extending the availability of its award-winning Intel Core processor family to more stylish, ultra-thin laptops. Ultraportable laptops – less than an inch thick and weighing just 2 to 5 pounds – offer the performance, battery life and connectivity consumers need on-the-go.
Based on Intel’s 32 nanometer (nm) technology manufacturing, the processors are more than 32 percent smaller1 and deliver more than 32 percent better performance2, all in a lightweight, sleek design. These new processors also reduce power consumption3 more than 15 percent, resulting in unparalleled battery life.
“Consumers crave laptops that offer style and performance, and the new 2010 Intel Core Ultra-Low Voltage processors for ultra-thin laptops delivers both, in one sleek design,” said Mooly Eden, vice president and general manager of the PC Client Group at Intel. “Intel’s leadership in 32 nm high-k metal gate process technology, combined with breakthrough architecture and design has enabled thinner, lighter and faster notebooks than previous models, with terrific battery life. Not only are laptops becoming ultraportable, but with the new processors inside, users will see faster response times and less waiting.”
Some of the processors feature Intel® Turbo Boost Technology4 to automatically accelerate performance, adjusting to the workload to give users an immediate performance boost when needed. Intel Hyper-Threading Technology5, available in Intel Core i7, Core i5 and Core i3 processors, provides responsiveness and helps reduce latency when performing several tasks simultaneously.
With Intel HD Graphics, the processors deliver crystal-clear visuals, vibrant colors and smooth high-definition (HD) video and audio playback.
In addition, the recently announced Mobile Intel 5 Series Chipset designed for use with the ULV-based laptops expands support for multiple video and audio options, enhanced data and PC protection with Intel Anti-Theft Technology and robust data protection for users’ digital assets.
More than 40 laptop designs are expected from computer makers such as Acer, Asus and Lenovo, and will be offered at a variety of price points. For more information and product images, visit

- Intel Turbo Boost Technology is exclusively available with Intel Core i5 and i7 processor series only. Intel Turbo Boost Technology performance varies depending on hardware, software and overall system configuration. Check with your PC manufacturer on whether your system delivers Intel® Turbo Boost Technology. For more information, see www.intel.com/technology/turboboost
- Intel Hyper-Threading (HT) Technology (Intel HT Technology) requires a computer system with a processor supporting Intel HT Technology and an Intel HT Technology-enabled chipset, BIOS and operating system. Performance will vary depending on the specific hardware and software you use. The Intel Core i5-750 desktop processor does not support Intel HT Technology.
