Intel launches 45nm processors

The new 45nm processors by Intel were launched in Sri Lanka one week after the worldwide launch in USA by CEO Paul Otellini.

Retail and Channel Marketing Manager, Asia Pacific Intel Technology Asia (Pte) Ltd., Sharad Parmar said every two years we at Intel introduce CPU architecture developed on the tick tock model:"

Built using a new transistor formula that alleviates the wasteful electricity leaks that threaten the pace of future computer innovation it increases computer performance and saves energy.

These processors also eliminate eco friendly lead and in 2008 halogen materials. Regional Manager Intel Sri Lanka Indika De Zoysa said "we see a rapid pace of technology adoption in Sri Lanka and are confident that our customers will take advantage of the newly launched family of processors. This launch is also proof of our commitment to delivering the best in technology to the country as soon as products are introduced in the international market."

He said that the new processors boast nearly twice the transistor density of previous chips built on the company's 65nm technology that is up to 820 mln transistors for quad core processors each using Intel's new formula.

Called the biggest transistor advancements in 40 years by Intel co founder Gordon Moore the processors are the first to use Intel's Hafnium -based high-k metal gate (Hi-k) formula for the hundreds of millions of transistors inside these processors. These Intel Core 2 Extreme and Xeon processors are also the first to be manufactured on the company's 45 nanometer (nm) manufacturing process further boosting performance and lowering power consumption.

Combining these two advancements with the new processor features enables Intel to continue delivering faster and more energy efficient processors that are better for the environment.
