The Future is Ultra-Thin: Intel Sales Chief Outlines Industry Growth Opportunities in Computex Keynote

Intel Corporation introduced four new processors at Computex Taipei 2009, including a low power version and a value chipset, to usher in mainstream “ultra-thin” laptops. According to Intel, its ultra-low voltage (ULV) processors will enable new sleek consumer laptop designs less than an inch thick, weighing 2 to 5 pounds, and at mainstream price points. These processors also consume less power to enable longer battery life.

“With an ultra-thin laptop powered by Intel ultra-low voltage processors, consumers experience a unique balance of performance and power consumption that is incomparable in the market today – all in a slim, sleek package,” said Mooly Eden, Vice President and General Manager of the Mobile Platforms Group at Intel. “And at mainstream price points, Intel is proud to deliver ultra thin for all.”

Sean Maloney, Intel Executive Vice President and Chief Sales and Marketing Officer, Sales and Marketing Group, said his company’s relentless commitment to innovation will help drive tremendous future growth throughout the computing and communications industries, particularly in mobile and wireless. He unveiled the new family of ultra-low voltage mobile processors during the opening keynote speech at Computex. During his speech, Maloney congratulated Taiwan on shipping more than 1 billion Intel processor-based motherboards. He also pointed out how Taiwan’s technology industry has become the “innovation hub” for the global IT industry and challenged Taiwan’s tech industry to take advantage of emerging technology transitions to create continuing demand and growth.
