Intel would strike on the Athlon Neon


According to Electronista, as soon as possible Intel could submit to the court users' new line of low-voltage mobile processors, which are likely to be used in systems and the price range of 699-899 U.S. dollars. While this family of processors known as the Consumer Ultra Low Voltage (CULV), and it is these chips will oppose the newest processors Athlon Neo, who were recently released AMD. As conceived by Intel, processors CULV should dominate in the area of mobile systems with the size of the display from 11 to 13.3 inches. It was with their help, Intel is trying to give attention to the leading manufacturers of mobile computers from the processor Atom, as production of the past is not very profitable for the processor giant.

According to the plan of Intel, the first products based on CULV should appear this spring. At the very least, HP, Dell and Acer have already incorporated such chips in its business plan. By the way, walking these rumors that Intel has managed to convince HP to abandon the idea of use Atom in its new 13-3 inch Netbook, which is due in June this year.

As usual, Intel has abstained from commenting on this issue.
