Las Vegas (NV) - At CES 2008 today, Intel introduced for the first time 16 new Core technology-based 45nm processors targeted at a wide range of intended applications. They include five models targeted at mobile spaces, seven at low to high-end desktops, including a 45nm Centrino model, and four targeted specifically at servers.

Intel will eventually introduce 16 more 45nm products, making a total of 32 separate processors based on their high-k/metal gate 45nm technology which, according to Intel, reduces power consumption allowing for faster clock speeds and cooler operations. Intel’s manufacturing process is now entirely lead free, and with products now being produced in 2008, they are also halogen free.

Intel is planning to introduce mobile Internet (WiMAX) in 2008, which Mooly Eden, VP and GM of the mobile platforms group, said, "...later this year, Intel will begin delivering the mobile Internet with much smaller, lighter and powerful Internet-enabled devices that ultimately will fit right into your pocket."
