PC makers began to announce their notebooks in Japan on Tuesday evening, a day before Intel's formal introduction of the Pentium-M and Centrino chips in New York, according to a report.
IBM, HP, Dell and others will start selling new notebooks feature the Pentium-M, an energy-efficient notebook processor, and Centrino, a chipset that comes with an integrated wireless networking.
"The 1.6GHz Pentium-M definitely outperforms a 2GHz Pentium 4." said the product manager of IBM. He said that the new notebooks have better battery life using Pentium-M that produce less heat compare to the Pentium 4 chips.
Centrino chipset will comes only with the 802.11b wireless networking, the most common standard for Wi-Fi networks today, analysts said. Some PC makers will also bundle the Pentium-M with non-Intel's chipsets that can support the faster 802.11a or 802.11g networking standards for some customers' needs.
