Revenue from sales of microprocessors within the Mobility Group operating segment represented 28% of consolidated net revenue in 2007 (26% in 2006 and 22% in 2005).

Our current mobile microprocessor offerings include the:

  • Intel® Core™2 Extreme mobile processor
  • Intel® Core™2 Duo mobile processor
  • Intel® Pentium® Dual-Core mobile processor
  • Intel® Core™2 Solo mobile processor
  • Intel® Celeron® M processor
  • Intel® Celeron® processor

We offer mobile microprocessors at a variety of price/performance points: from the Intel Core 2 Extreme mobile processor designed for gaming to the Intel Celeron processor designed to provide value, quality, and reliability for basic computing needs. The related chipsets for our mobile microprocessor offerings primarily include the Mobile Intel® 965 Express Chipset and the Mobile Intel® 945 Express Chipset.

We offer our processors in various packaging options, giving our customers flexibility for a wide range of system designs for notebook PCs, tablet PCs, and other mobile computing devices. We also offer low-power microprocessors and chipsets designed for ultra-mobile devices, including products for ultra-mobile PCs and mobile Internet devices (MIDs).

In 2007, the majority of the revenue in the Mobility Group operating segment was from sales of our Intel Centrino processor technology and Intel® Centrino® with vPro™ technology products. Intel Centrino processor technologies are designed to provide high performance with improved multitasking, power-saving features to improve battery life, small form factor, wireless network connectivity, and improved boot times. Intel Centrino with vPro technology includes the features of Intel Centrino processor technology and is designed to provide mobile business PCs with increased security, manageability, and energy-efficient performance. These processor technologies enable users to take advantage of wireless capabilities at work, at home, and at thousands of wireless "hotspots" installed around the world.

Our new product offerings in 2007 and early 2008 include:

  • A new generation of Intel Centrino processor technology and Intel Centrino with vPro technology, based on the Intel Core 2 Duo processor. Intel Centrino with vPro technology is designed specifically for business users and includes Intel AMT. Both of these processor technologies include the Mobile Intel 965 Express Chipset and the option of Intel® Turbo Memory, a technology that can reduce the amount of time required for a system to turn on, boot up, or access software applications. Also included in these processor technologies is the Intel® Next-Gen Wireless-N Network Connection, which is based on the draft 802.11n WiFi specification. This network connection is designed to provide faster data transmission over a longer range than previous Intel WiFi products.
  • Intel Core 2 Extreme dual-core mobile processors, including a version manufactured using our new 45nm process technology. These processors are designed to bring advanced video, gaming, and computing performance to laptop systems.
  • The Intel® Ultra Mobile Platform 2007, which includes a low-power processor, a chipset, and a controller hub. This platform is designed for MIDs and ultra-mobile PCs.
  • Intel Core 2 Duo mobile processors manufactured using our new 45nm process technology. These processors include new video and graphics capabilities, as well as a battery-saving Deep Power Down Technology, which reduces the power of the processor when it is not running data or instructions.
