The US chip maker Intel Corp has unveiled its first mobile Pentium III processor to operate at a speed of 1GHz.
Designed for full size and thin-and-light notebooks, the 1GHz microprocessor chip is, according to Intel, the world's fastest mobile PC processor.
The chip uses Intel's SpeedStep technology to dynamically switch clock frequency and voltage - providing 1GHz performance at 1.7 volts when power saving is not an issue and slowing down the processor to run at 700MHz and 1.35 volts when the user wants to conserve power.
