COMPUTEX: Intel introduces Ultrabook design

Intel is hoping to see a new class of thin and light laptops based around its chips. The computers, called Ultrabooks, are expected around the end of this year and one such machine was demonstrated during an Intel keynote speech at Computex.

ultrabook better than air

[phattacorider]

Even though the Asian guy has a really harsh accent, am I imagining things or does he have a far more sophisticated English vocabulary than the majority of Americans?

@trollworkout i just wanted to add..when comparing intel with arm for products of similar clock speeds/caliber intel is 10% faster than arm...but arm is 50% more power efficient. intel only mostly simplifies the cpu and unvervolts/underclocks its products to make it mobile viable. maybe that works for tablets or ultraportable laptops but does not work for cellphones or most mobile devices...with never work. not with x86

[trollworkout]

arm is actually better architecture than x86. arm is a risc processor. a risc architecture is much more efficient. requiring less transistors and is less expensive. intel's processors are getting cheaper and more low power sure but they will always be sub par price/performance wise. its simply an architectural limitation of x86. its complex and powerful but clunky. its easier to scale up or down an arm processor. now with multi core..arm is wasting no power..only increasing die size.
