Intel Corp. said a new line of computer processors due out later this year will be about 40 percent faster than current chips when running computer games, videos and other heavy workloads.
The company said the new Penryn processors will have the same basic design as current ones, but the circuitry will be 30 percent thinner, just 45 millionths of a millimeter wide.
"In high-performance computing and bandwidth intensive applications, there will be up to a whopping 45 percent performance increase," said Patrick Gelsinger, the general manager for Intel's digital enterprise group.
The Penryn would be the world's first 45 nanometer processor, Gelsinger said at the Intel Developer Forum in Beijing on Tuesday. The new processors will hit the market later this year, but Gelsinger did not provide a timeline.
