Intel recently launched its long-awaited new line of power-efficient microprocessors, code-named Penryn, designed to deliver better graphics and application performance as well as virtualization capabilities. HP, Lenovo and others are preparing systems with the new faster, greener chips. The processors, manufactured using a 45-nanometer process, feature smaller transistors and cut down on electricity leaks, so they are faster and more power efficient than earlier 65-nm processors. Penryn processors jump to higher clock rates and feature cache and design improvements that deliver a 40% to 60% improvement in video and imaging performance. New instructions on the processor speed up photo manipulation and encoding of high-definition video.
