Intel announced prices for some of its latest, most powerful chips that might disappoint digital gaming enthusiasts because they’re more expensive than reports had speculated. The latest Intel processors for gamers, the Intel Core 2 Extreme Quad-Core processors for desktop PCs that run at 3.2GHz will cost US$1,499 each in lots of 1000 processors, with a slightly different version for $1,399.

Intel has tweaked its processor price list, cutting up to 50 per cent off what it charges for desktop CPUs.
The big reduction came to the 2.66GHz Core 2 Quad Q6700, which now costs $266, down from $530. The 2.4GHz Q6600 is also cheaper now: down 16 per cent to $224. For those of you not [...]
Designed for New Internet Devices, Low-Cost PCs.This new, low-powered proccesor designed specifically for mobile Internet devices, and a line of affordable Internet-centric computers arriving later this year. The company also announced the Intel Centrino Atom processor, consisting of multiple chips for optimal Internet experience in a pocketable device.The proccesor specific design for small devices and low power, maintains the Intel Core 2 Duo instruction set consumers are used to on the standard PCs and the internet. Includes support for multiple threads and increased system responsiveness. The chip is Intel's smallest and lowest power processor, with 47 million transistors in an area the size of an American penny.Press release
Well, Intel late Friday revealed the world’s smallest SSD chips ever released, and even if they went crazy with the dimensions, they certainly didn’t left the capacity behind. The new Intel Z-p140 PATA SSD chips come in 2GB capacity for now and the 4GB model will be available by the middle of 2008. In the future, the manufacturer will also launch a 16GB SSDs. What can we say about the weight of this kind of SSDs ? It weights just 0.02 ounces, as much as a paper clip and it’s no larger than a penny. Another interesting thing regarding this one, is that is still faster than most any flash-based memory cards and it can read with 40MB per second while writing at 30MB per second.
According to Intel, the combination with a standard Parallel ATA connection gives the Z-P140 the possibility to serve as an extremly small hard drive for virtually any operating system without the need of special controllers. We think that Intel is going to show off their chips at CES in Januar

Intel underscored its commitment to the market for pocket-sized Internet devices Wednesday, announcing development of a new package of technologies it calls Moorestown.
The announcement came as the chip giant said it was on schedule to ship its first chip for use in these products during the first half of next year. Sales of portable Web devices are expected to expand in coming years as improvements are made in their ability to combine Internet access, computer-like features and phone calling - and as they become smaller in size. The news came on the second day of the Santa Clara company’s semi-annual developers forum, where the technology firm is showing off emerging product initiatives to about 5,000 hardware engineers at the Moscone Center in San Francisco.
The push to become a supplier of chips for portable Internet gear is a critical step as Intel looks for new markets for its computer chips.
In a German Games Convention, Intel announced the released of the newest Core 2 Extreme Processor, the X7900. This new Intel chip clocks up to 2.8 Ghz with 4 MB of L2 cache and a front side bus speed of 800 Mhz. The CPU requires 44 watts of electricity to run so don’t expect much [...]
