Intel Corp. said its next-generation platform for laptop computers will use 25 percent less power while boosting performance, in a move to help it stay on top of the fast-growing market.
The overhaul of Intel's Centrino technology, code-named "Napa," comes as the world's largest chipmaker is getting a boost from laptop sales, which are growing faster than the overall computer market.
At the heart of Napa is Intel's new Yonah microprocessor, which will be its first mobile chip to have two cores and will be built with the latest technology that etches circuitry more than 100 times thinner than a human hair.
That means the Napa system will use 28 percent less power while performing 68 percent better than its predecessor, Keith Kressin, Intel's marketing chief for mobile platforms, told reporters.
Analysts said Napa will be a crucial product for Intel when it launches in January.
