INTEL DUAL-CORE PROCESSOR-BASED PLATFORM
POWERS NEXT-GENERATION DIGITAL HOME EXPERIENCES What is Intel Corporation?s new platform for the digital home?
Digital content is on the rise and consumers today are using their home PCs to accomplish more tasks and enjoy their content in new ways, thus driving the need for more powerful PCs that multi-task, manage multiple users and their personal content, and take on consumer electronics-like capabilities.
To address these needs, Intel has increased its focus on innovating and delivering its technology in a way that benefits people in their daily lives through its effort to develop ?platforms? -- sets of technology ingredients that work together to deliver greater benefit than the sum of the individual components. For the home, Intel is delivering a dual-core processor-based platform that includes an Intel® Pentium® D processor (formerly codenamed ?Smithfield?) and the Intel® 945G Express Chipset (formerly codenamed ?Lakeport?) to take the digital home experience to the next level. The new Intel platform empowers consumers to create, access and enjoy digital content in new and compelling ways in their homes.
What benefits can I get from the dual-core processor-based platforms?
PCs based on the Intel Pentium D processor will have two processing cores -- or ?brains? -- to enrich the home entertainment experience by allowing multiple audio, video or gaming streams to be routed to different users in the home simultaneously. For example, a child could play a game on a Pentium D processor-based PC in the bedroom, while a parent in the living room uses a remote control and a digital media adapter connected to the TV to access videos stored on the same PC.
When the Pentium D processor is teamed with the Intel 945G Express Chipset, users can also benefit from new graphics and high-definition audio and video capabilities for a theater-like experience right inside the home.
What are the features of the Intel 945G Express Chipset?
The Intel 945G Express chipset delivers outstanding system performance for experiencing digital entertainment with such features as:
? Intel® High Definition Audio to enable home theater-quality surround sound, as well as the ability to route two audio streams simultaneously to separate rooms in the home.
? Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator 950 to deliver rich visual quality and vivid colors for sharper pictures and smoother graphics, and video for a compelling high-definition experience.
? Support for PCI Express*, the high-performance serial interconnect technology that delivers high-definition graphics for awesome 3-D gaming.
? Dual-channel DDR2-667 memory support for highly responsive memory performance.
? Support for Intel® Matrix Storage Technology providing quicker access to data and digital content including photos, video and music as well as faster PC boot time. It also provides protection against data loss of your valuable digital memories from hard disk failure.
? Serial ATA II support for faster system responsiveness.
What will I be able to do with the Pentium D processor and Intel 945G Express Chipset
platform from Intel?
PCs powered by an Intel Pentium D processor and Intel 945 Express Chipset provide an ideal system for storing and accessing music and such personal content as photos and home videos. Multi-tasking and multi-user usages that stand to benefit from this pairing include:
? A family that enjoys multiple streams of content moving around the house via a home network. For example, a parent in the den may watch a high-definition movie with 7.1 surround sound, while a teenager in her bedroom streams music from a PC playlist to a connected stereo system.
? A consumer who engages in multiple activities that might otherwise tax a system. For example, he can play an online game while streaming home videos to the living room TV at the same time.
? A music and movie enthusiast who synchs up his portable media player with his PC and downloads movies while scanning his system for viruses.
? A digital shutterbug who uses a photo-editing application to remove red-eye from snapshots and simultaneously streams music to other networked devices in the home.
? A home computer user who browses the Web or records video content on the PC while firewall, virus or data backup software runs transparently in the background.
How will this platform be available to consumers?
Intel expects several different desktop PC designs based on the Intel Pentium D processor and the Intel 945G Express Chipset to be available beginning May 26, and growing throughout the year by many computer makers worldwide.
