This category is about Intel’s ULV (ultra-low voltage) processors.
Intel released yesterday the new notebook processors and cut laptop CPU prices for up to 40 percent.
Along with the recently introduced Intel Core 2 Extreme X7900, the chip maker has added the Core 2 Duo T7800 model at 2.6GHz to its mobile processor price list. The T7800 costs $530, while the prices for the older T7700 and the T7500 are decreased from $530 and $316 to $316 and $241 respectively.
Intel plans to launch Intel Core 2 Extreme X7800 and Celeron M 540 laptop processors on July 8th, as well as Core 2 Extreme X7900, Core 2 Duo T7250, T7800, L7700, U2200, U2100, and Celeron 550 on September 2nd.
The Core 2 Extreme X7800 and X7900, designed for gaming notebooks, are clocked at 2.6GHz and 2.8GHz respectively. Both of these high-end processors have 800MHz front side bus, 4MB of L2 cache, and initial prices of $851, according to Intel’s mobile CPU roadmap published by VR-Zone.
Gateway will be among the first OEMs to offer Intel’s Core 2 Duo (Merom) ultra-low voltage processor in an ultra-portable laptop. Starting May 3, Gateway customers will be able to order an E-100M business sub-notebook with Intel’s new U7600 ULV CPU, eWeek reports.
It is expected that the inclusion of the recently announced ultra-low voltage Merom processor will add $75 to the current E-100M’s price.
Intel has launched today the Core 2 Duo U7600 and U7500 ultra-low voltage (ULV) processors, made for use in small notebooks and tablets, as well as in ultra-mobile PCs.
The first two ULV processors in Intel Core 2 Duo code-named Merom processor family – U7600 clocked at 1.2 GHz and U7500 at 1.06 GHz – are designed to provide lower power consumption and cooler operation than other Core 2 Duos. These dual core ULV processors provide TDP (thermal design power) of 10 watts, while the other Meroms have TDP of 17W and 34W. But, ULV CPUs have slower clock speeds.
Intel Core 2 Solo processors, the single-core ULV (ultra low voltage) CPUs for thin and light laptops, will arrive in Q3 2007, HKEPC reports.
“Since single core has a better power consumption than dual core, Intel decided to make Core 2 Solo ULV for the need Sub-Note market,” the report says.
Intel has told its OEM customers that it will launch the low voltage (LV) Core 2 Duo Mobile (Merom) processors L7400 and the L7200 in January, at prices of $315 and $285 respectively. These low voltage CPUs will have 4MB of cache, clocking at 1.50GHz and 1.33GHz respectively, and with system bus speeds of 667MHz, The Inquirer reported today.
Intel will also introduce Core Solo U1500, an ultra low voltage processor, which will have 2MB of cache, clock at 1.33GHz and have a bus speed of 533MHz.
It is reported that Intel is also readying the Celeron Mobile 520 at 1.60GHz with 1MB of cache and a 533MHz system bus for around $130 in January.
