Intel
debuts hyper-threading technology for portable PCs
Posted: 29 September 2003
Intel Corporation today introduced the Mobile Intel Pentium 4
processor supporting Hyper-Threading (HT) Technology for portable
notebook PCs, commonly referred to as desktop replacement notebooks.
These systems offer consumers such desktop-like features as large
screens, full-size keyboards and multiple drives.
The Mobile Intel Pentium 4 processor supporting HT Technology offers
frequencies up to 3.20 GHz, and power management features that enable
lower thermals than its desktop counterpart. Notebooks based on
the Mobile Intel Pentium 4 processor supporting HT Technology allow
users to take better advantage of such multithreaded and processor-intensive
multimedia applications as video encoding, digital media and gaming.
HT Technology allows the portable notebook PC's processor to simultaneously
work on two separate threads, improving performance when multiple
applications are running. For example, a user can play an immersive
game while encoding audio or video, compressing images or compositing
special effects.
HT Technology offers better responsiveness and performance when
multitasking with existing applications. Performance also increases
significantly with current "multithreaded" software and
performance headroom for the next wave of multithreaded applications.
The Mobile Intel Pentium 4 processor supporting HT Technology works
with the Intel 852GME and Intel 852PM chipsets and is built on the
Intel NetBurst microarchitecture.
It features a 533 MHz system bus and supports advanced mobile power
management, including Enhanced Intel SpeedStep technology, Deep
Sleep and Deeper Sleep.
