Next month will be a busy one for Intel when they
launch their next generation of mobile processors which will
include the Yonah dual-core processor technology. The new
Napa mobile platform will be 40% faster and 42% more power
efficient than the current Sonoma Centrino processors. With
continued growth expected in the portable PC market,
Intel’s goal is to produce a processor capable of 8-hour
continuous battery life by 2008.


The first Intel-based Macs will also be hitting the streets at the end of
next month, according to Think Secret. The
rumored
widescreen iBook will also be Yonah-enabled and
is expected to be announced at Macworld San
Francisco.


These developments could lead to a few breakthroughs in the gaming industry - longer, more powerful
PC gaming on the
go and the ability of Mac gamers to tap
into the massive
library of Windows games. With Conroe
on the horizon,
Intel is solidifying their position in both the laptop and desktop gaming markets.
