Intel Corp also revealed plans to introduce a new premium processor, called the 'Core 2 Extreme', aimed at users seeking high-performance computers.
It is hoped that the chips will boost interest in its products as Intel Corp faces competition from Advanced Micro Devices Inc (AMD), a competitor manufacturer. Although Intel Corp's microprocessors are used in over 80% of PCs around the world it has been losing market share to AMD.
