Intel to cut Pentium M CPU prices to compete with AMD Turion 64
Charles Chou, Taipei; Steve Shen, DigiTimes.com [Tuesday 15 March 2005]

Intel plans to cut the prices of its 700-series Pentium M processors on July 24, to take on Advanced Micro Devices’ (AMD) newly launched Turion 64 mobile CPUs, according to sources at Taiwan notebook makers.

AMD launched seven Turion 64 mobile CPUs – the ML-37, -34, -32 and -30, and MT-34, -32 and -30 – on March 10, with prices ranging from US$184 to US$354, depending on models, according to AMD data.

Does anyone know of any slim 15" or smaller sonoma notebooks with x700 or GF 6600 video? Or maybe even x600 or equivalent GeForce?

I really like the Asus v6v (and w3v), but having TV output is very important for me.

The Sager 4880 looks pretty nice too, but is a bit bulky for me at 8lbs and 1.75" thick.

Does something like what I am looking for exist yet?

I may decide to get a non sonona based notebook in that case, with at least 9700 GFX, slim and light metal alloy chassis, tvout, etc.

Any suggestions either way?

Thanks for the help

13" 200nits bright wide-screen displayThe proportions of the Joybook S52's LCD adhere to the golden ratio, which best accommodates the fact that the human eye's field of vision is wider than it is high. And the 200nits bright panel, which uses exclusive DBEF™ (Display Brilliance Enhancement Film) technology, gives you the best viewing experience with DVD movies.

Pioneering thermal designTo ensure that the compact Joybook S52 still offers effective cooling, it retains the "front-intake ventilation cooling system" from the previous generation.

Interview: Intel sees reasonable growth so far this year

BERLIN (Reuters) — Intel (INTC), the world's biggest chipmaker, is enjoying "reasonable growth" so far this year as demand for its Centrino chips for laptop computers remains strong, the company's chief executive said on Wednesday.

Craig Barrett said Intel's forecast of sales of between $9.2 billion and $9.4 billion for the quarter to the end of March — an increase of some 15% over the year-ago period — showed the company outpacing a flattish broader sector.

"That's our current forecast. So we're seeing reasonable growth year-upon-year to date. Now one quarter doesn't make the whole year, but at least we're not seeing a flat performance to date," Barrett told Reuters in an interview.

Barrett declined to say whether Intel's factory network, the largest in the semiconductor industry, is still struggling to meet demand for its second-generation Centrino chips used in notebook PCs but said that demand is still strong.

"There has been very strong demand for mobile computing — obviously the Pentium M and the Centrino have been very popular in the marketplace — so it's been a challenge to keep up."

"I think the whole marketplace has been a bit surprised by how fast that conversion has gone on," he added, referring to users switching from desktop PCs to notebooks.

"We've looked at acquiring what I would call interesting technology to complement our own — usually a technology acquisition as opposed to a revenue acquisition," said Barrett, who is due to step down as CEO in May.

Barrett, who hands over after seven years as CEO to Paul Otellini in a long-planned change of top management, said he is proud of his 30 years with a company that many had once written off as unable to compete in the global market.

But he regretted not having been able to boost the value of Intel stock, which lost more than a quarter of its value last year and was one of the worst performers in the blue-chip Dow index. "I'd like to see our stock price higher," he said.

Barrett said he could not yet comment on smaller rival AMD's new Turion 64 notebook chip, which AMD said earlier this month it would begin selling to Acer, Fujitsu Siemens and Packard Bell.

"I haven't seen one yet. All I've seen is smoke in the sky above San Francisco," he said, adding that he continued to see AMD as a serious competitor.

Intel recently bought Israeli semiconductor maker Oplus Technologies to bolster its offerings for digital TVs and set-top boxes for an undisclosed sum estimated at $100 million.

Barrett said he is satisfied that Intel had the right strategy to expand its own current cell phone-chip business, after an earlier attempt to enter the market failed because of bad timing and product design problems.

He added that he is aiming for annual sales in triple figures in that business. "To be happy we have to have major design wins and we have to start talking revenues in at least the hundreds of millions of dollars," he said.

Diversification into cell-phone chips is part of a wider push by Intel to move from an identification with PCs into the lucrative consumer electronics market, which Barrett said would have a "material impact" on Intel's sales by 2006.

Barrett declined to say whether he would challenge a monopoly warning by Japan's antitrust regulator, a move Intel can make by Friday at the latest.

But he added: "I don't think we've broken any laws." He said that all options were still open, ranging from court action to complying with an order to scrap certain practices.

The watchdog has said that Intel's Japanese unit squeezed out AMD and Transmeta from the Japanese market by offering rebates to PC makers that agreed to limit or stop purchases of central processing units made by those rivals.

Wow, that looks like a laptop that I may want to get. Too bad it doesnt have a geforce 6600 in it, since I have heard that the 6600 edges out the x700 in most games. Any idea when it will be released?

Fujitsu Sonoma notebooks:

http://www.engadget.com/entry/1234000003040774/

Quote:
Fujitsu went all out and released a whole new line of Loox T, MG, NB, and NX-series machines on us—they’ve been pretty slow thusfar in updating their lines to Sonoma, but for the most part these buck the trend. So, from left to right, top to bottom we have the Loox T, their 10.6-inch screen ultraportable that comes not in Sonoma, but has a 1.2GHz Pentium M, 1280 x 768 display, and up to 1GB RAM. The MG has a 13.3-inch or 14-inch screen, and has a Sonoma-based option with up to a 1.73GHz CPU, 2GB DDR2 SDRAM, dual-layer DVD burner, and a 100GB hard drive. The NB comes in two versions, a 15-inch vanilla version which uses the AMD Turion, and the NB/TV version, which rocks the Sonoma platform, a TV tuner, and has a larger 17-inch screen option; the 17-incher also supports dual hard drives—both can rock over a GB of RAM, while the 17-inch version has a 1440 x 900 display. Finally, the top of the line NX runs Sonoma at up to 1.86GHz, dual 100GB hard drives, that sweet 1440 x 900 17-inch display, and a TV tuner.

This is the new summer laptop and desktop line-up from Fujitsu.

Let's start with the laptops, and the keyword here is SONOMA.

So what's new with the T-series and the T70L, T75L and T75L/T? The Celeron has disappeared from their offering and the T70 becomes the low end of the range. Same hardware, same CPU but Fujitsu is more generous when it comes to memory (512Mb on the T75) and the L/T models still have a TV tuner and 100Gb of HDD. The T75 keeps it DVD R/RW/RAM burner. The entry-level T70 has 256Mb of RAM and a RVR R/RW burner. Price-wise, get ready to spend at least 1800 EUR.

A bit further up the ladder, we find the MG, that has a 13.3 or 14" screen and other than that the same specifications as the T75L and T75L/T.

Then we move on to the NB with its 17" screen (1440x900) and a choice when it comes to the CPU between a Turion 64 (1.80Ghz), a Pentium M735 (1.70Ghz) or a Celeron 360 (1.40Ghz).

Finally there is the NX, the biggest laptop they have, with its 17" DXII Liquid Crystal screen (1440x900), a M750 CPU (running at 1.86Ghz and also 2 100Gb HDD's, Gigabeat Ethernet, a DL DVD burner and a TV Tuner.
