Intel Fortifies Its Low-Cost Chips

Intel enhanced some of its low-cost Celeron family of mobile processors this week, making them more like the popular Pentium M chips.
The Santa Clara, Calif.-based chip making giant said its new Celeron M 350 (1.3GHz) and Celeron M 360 (1.4GHz) are now built on 90-nanometer instead of 0.13-micron process technology, making room for double the on-chip Level 2 cache -- 1MB instead of 512K. The chips are designed for use in thin and light notebooks. Until now, the only Celeron M built on 90-nanometer technology was the Ultra Low Voltage model 353, which runs at 900MHz with 512K of L2 cache. The shift is significant as Intel now says that it has reached a tipping point with its 90-nanometer production, which has just surpassed the number of 0.13-micron processors.

    Damn, it's too bad no mobo manufacturer is making any desktop boards for the P-M and Cel-M. These Cel-M procs would be great for an economy folding farm in both acquisition costs and running costs.
