Pentium 4 to reach notebooks next year
C|Net | at | by Mike
Intel will bring the Pentium 4 to the notebook market in the first half of next year and then follow a year later with Banias, a new portable chip the company says will greatly increase battery life. More speed and less power are the themes dominating Intel's chip strategy in portables. The Pentium 4 will run at more than 1.5GHz when it emerges next year and hit 2GHz by the end of 2002, Frank Spindler, vice president of Intel's mobile products division, said during a keynote address Wednesday at the Intel Developer Forum.
