Intel News Release
Intel Takes Popular Laptops to 'Extreme' with First-Ever Extreme Edition Mobile Processor; Adds New Desktop Chip
High-Performing Notebook and Desktop Processors Arrive Near First Anniversary of Award-Winning Intel® Core™ Microarchitecture
SANTA CLARA, Calif., July 16, 2007 – Addressing demand for even faster laptop computers for hardcore gamers, artists and media enthusiasts, Intel Corporation today introduced its first Intel® Core™2 Extreme mobile dual-core processor -- the world's highest-performing mobile processor1 -- adopting the brand from the company's flagship desktop offerings. The company also introduced new desktop processors and said it expects to announce battery-friendly quad-core processors for laptop computers next year.
The new products come on the heels of the company's 1-year anniversary of introducing server, desktop and laptop processors based on the innovative Intel® Core™ microarchitecture.
"Laptops are the fastest-growing computing market segment, and there is increasing demand from those who crave the ultimate in video, gaming and design computing performance yet want the freedom and flexibility that a laptop brings," said Mooly Eden, Intel vice president and general manager, Mobile Platforms Group. "Due to our innovative technology and design capabilities, we can offer world-class, power-smart performance for the most demanding mobile users, and are proud to offer it under our Intel Core 2 Extreme brand -- a name that has become synonymous with ultimate performance."
The Intel Core 2 Extreme X7800 mobile dual-core processor, with both cores running at a brisk 2.6 GHz, also features mobile-specific power-saving features that help Intel's computer-maker customers deliver more energy-efficient and higher-performing designs. For example, the Intel Core 2 Extreme mobile processor X7800 offers up to 28 percent more performance2 than our previous-generation mobile processor. In addition, for experienced enthusiasts who desire more capability, the Intel Core 2 Extreme mobile processor bus ratio locks (overspeed protection) have been removed3. This offers added technical flexibility in customizing the system so OEMs can unleash even more performance.
Flagship Desktop Processor IntroducedFor desktop PCs, Intel is announcing a robust set of new processors, including the flagship Intel® Core™2 Extreme QX6850 quad-core processor. Clocked at 3.0 GHz with a new, faster 1333 MHz system bus speed, the Intel Core 2 Extreme QX6850 will be welcomed by game developers looking to deliver new features and performance levels. Intel also announced new Intel® Core™2 Duo and Core™2 Quad processors.
"Thanks to the Intel Core 2 Extreme quad core processor, the PC version of Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter* 2 raises gaming to new heights," said Bo Anderson, CEO, GRIN Development Studio*. "Developed by GRIN and published by Ubisoft*, the game draws upon the power of Intel's next-generation multi-threaded engine to provide amazingly realistic gameplay. Intel's quad-core processor uses one core for physics, one for rendering, one for game logic and one for miscellaneous tasks, which can provide consistently higher and more stable frame rates."
Intel Core Microarchitecture – One Year LaterA year ago this month the company began introducing these innovative and energy-efficient products, and in that year Intel Core microarchitecture and its processors have achieved a number of milestones, including:
Delivering the world's first x86 software-compatible quad-core processor line for servers and PCs, as well as storage and embedded systems. To date, Intel has introduced 14 quad-core processor versions.
Receiving more than 75 independent awards and other accolades from online publications and magazine editors around the world. The full list can be reviewed at www.intel.com/pressroom/kits/core2duo/awards.htm.
Securing nearly half (224) of the 500 top-ranked high-performance computers as measured by the recently announced Top 500 Supercomputers List (http://www.top500.org/).
Doubling the performance of laptops with Intel Core 2 Duo processors while maintaining impressive battery life4.
Paving the way for the biggest change to transistor design in 40 years that will combine the company's 45-nanometer manufacturing process and the next-generation Intel® Core™2 and Intel® Xeon® processors.
New Processor Pricing and AvailabilityThe Intel Core 2 Extreme X7800 mobile processor, running at 2.6 GHz with 4 MB of L2 cache, is available to OEMs now at a cost of $851. Notebook systems will appear on the market within the next two weeks. The new Intel desktop processors are also shipping to OEMs now, with product available to end users within the next two weeks.

Intel News Release
Multitude Of Innovations Boost New Intel-Based Laptops
NEW YORK and SAN FRANCISCO, May 9, 2007 – Faster processors and chipsets. Great-looking video and graphics. Stronger and faster wireless signals. Better security and manageability. Designed for energy efficiency to enable great battery life. An option to turbo-speed boot time and software application loading.
Intel Corporation today announced a host of new technologies, including faster Intel® Core™2 Duo processors, for its latest-generation Intel® Centrino® processor technology used in notebook PCs for consumers and businesses.
More than 230 Intel Centrino Duo and Intel Centrino Pro processor technology-based designs from PC manufacturers, resellers and integrators around the world are expected to take advantage of these and other features this year. Notebooks will come in a plethora of shapes and sizes, with designs ranging from fully loaded, 17-inch wide-screen models ideal for entertainment to tiny, energy-saving notebook PCs that weigh less than three pounds.
"When we introduced Intel Centrino 4 years ago, Intel changed the computing landscape with our mobile innovations," said Mooly Eden, Intel vice president and general manager, Mobile Products Group. "Now, simply said, we have improved virtually all aspects of Intel-based notebooks, the most popular and fastest growing computing market segment in the world."
At the heart of the new Intel Centrino Duo and Intel Centrino Pro processor technology-based notebooks is the next-generation of Intel's highly acclaimed Intel® Core™2 Duo processor, which delivers breakthrough mobile performance and responsiveness for demanding business users and consumers alike. Users will experience improved performance when running multiple applications simultaneously such as downloading a video clip while doing a virus scan. Additional power management features will continue to enable users to have the great battery life they have come to expect with an Intel-based notebook PC.
In addition, the Mobile Intel® 965 Express chipset family with Intel® Clear Video Technology enables an enhanced high-definition video experience. Users can also share their content with family and friends via TV easier than before with Intel® TV Wizard, which is a simplified way to connect to HD-enabled TVs. A new suite of drivers delivers robust and outstanding Windows Vista* Premium experience featuring Windows Aero*.
In order to download or upload digital content faster from the Internet, the available Intel® Next-Gen Wireless-N provides 802.11AGN WLAN capability and allows users more freedom to do more, delivering up to five times the performance for such tasks as downloads and twice the wireless access range.
Intel® Turbo Memory is an optional feature, unique to Intel technology, that can access frequently used software applications twice as fast and reduce the amount of time it takes to turn on, or boot-up, a laptop by as much as 20 percent. In turn, these faster speeds save on power consumption and increase battery life.
Notebooks That Mean BusinessWith a new brand specifically for business users, Intel Centrino Pro processor technology will adopt the innovative and popular features found in desktop business PCs today with Intel® vPro™ processor technology. IT departments will be able to reliably manage both desktops and notebooks and deal with what plagues them most – security threats, cost of ownership, resource allocation, and asset management – and do so wirelessly.
One of the key innovations designed in Intel Centrino Pro – Intel® Active Management Technology – provides business-class notebook PCs with wireless PC management, protection and remote repair work thereby increasing productivity, IT savings and uptime.
Smaller, Quieter and Stylish Desktop PC DesignsIntel will also use this new mobile technology foundation for a variety of smaller, quieter and high-performing consumer desktop PC designs. These computers will enable crystal clear audio, better graphics and sharper video playback and optionally include integrated 802.11n wireless support and Intel Turbo Memory.
These stylish PCs, when equipped with Intel® Viiv™ processor technology, enable consumers with notebooks based on Intel Centrino Duo processor technology and Intel® Media Share Software to browse, stream or download media files via a wireless home network. Additionally, users can save content to their Intel Centrino Duo processor technology-based laptop to enjoy their media content while on the go.
Intel expects hundreds of notebook models in a range of prices to be widely available now. For detailed Intel product pricing, visit www.intel.com/go/processor_pricing.

• Nokia E51Nokia has announced the Nokia N86 with a 8 megapixel camera, autofocus and Carl Zeiss lens. N86 will also have the new release of Nokia Ovi Maps application installed18 February 2009
According to Nokia, N86 8MP is the first camera phone with variable aperture. The optics are made by a company famous for its lenses. It is a Tessar lens from Carl Zeiss. The variable aperture has the f-stop of F2.4, F3.2 or F4.8. The aperture is set automatically by the phone and it is not possible to do this manually. A larger aperture (smaller F-number) separates the object in focus from the rest of the image. The focal length is 28mm (equivalent to 35mm) which is quite wide for a mobile phone camera.
The fastest shutter speed is according to the official specifications limited to 1/1000 second. According to Nokia, this is a conservative number and N86 can have a faster speed in the final product.
Nokia N86 also have excellent video camera. It will record video clips in VGA resolution (640x480) at 30 frames per second. The front camera is of CIF type and records video up to 15 fps in 352x288 pixel resolution.
Nokia N86 does not have the more powerful Xenon flash but instead it has a dual LED, 3rd generation. The advantage with the dual LED is that it makes it usable for both lightening up your video recording as well as still photography.
Another new feature introduced in the N86 is how panorama photos are taken. The first photo is captured as normal, and the N86 is moved slightly to the left or right for framing of the second shot. This is where the new feature comes to play. You are guided with this second framing. The first picture is displayed on the screen and you are told to move more to the right or left for the second shot. A visual indication will tell you when you can capture the next photo.
The N86 Photos taken with the N86 can be geotagged and uploaded to Nokias Ovi Share or Flickr. Captured photos with geotaggs are visually marked in the Map application. Via Nokias Ovi service, it is possible to upload and share a walked route and include the photos you have captured on the way. The Nokia N86 8MP comes with a built-in compass, along with and integrated 3-months license for full voice and pedestrian navigation.
N86 has 8 GB memory built in and this can be expanded with a 16 GB microSD card. The built in 8 GB memory should have room for up to 4.000 photos.
Both the display itself and the rest of the N86 front is protected entirely by a scratch resistant hardened glass. The front glass is fastened by a metal frame and which is a good combination for protecting the front part of the camera.
I have seen several A3 prints of photos taken with the N86 and I think they was of good quality. They could not compete with DSLR quality of course, and it was possible to see the artifacts caused by the JPEG compression. On the other hand. A3 prints are often meant to be looked at from a distance.
Nokia N86 comes in two colour variants. Indigo Black (greyish) and white and should be available in stores second quarter of 2009.
