Intel unveils new 2010 core family of processors

The introduction of new Intel Core i7, i5 and i3 chips coincides with the arrival of Intel’s new 32 nanometer (nm) manufacturing process - which for the first time in the company’s history - will be used to immediately produce and deliver processors and features at a variety of price points, and integrate high-definition graphics inside the processor, the company said in a press conference in New Delhi. This ramp and innovation reflects Intel’s $7 billion investment announced early last year in the midst of a major global economic recession, it claimed.Intel is unveiling several platform products, including more than 25 processors, wireless adapters and chipsets, including new Intel Core i7, i5 and i3 processors, Intel 5 Series Chipsets, and Intel Centrino Wi-Fi and WiMAX adapters that include new Intel My WiFi features. More than 400 laptop and desktop PC platform designs are expected from computer makers based on these products, with another 200 expected for embedded devices.  “For the first time, there’s a new family of Intel processors with the industry’s most advanced technology available immediately at virtually every PC price point,” said Intel South Asia Director-Sales R Ravichandran.
