Intel unveils all new Core processor family
Laptop, desktop and embedded device users are going to get integration and smart performance by Intel's turbo boost technology as Intel Corporation introduced its new 2010 Intel Core i7, i5 and i3 processors in the local market on February 10. Intel's South Asia's Director of Sales and Marketing Group Sandeep Aurora in the launching event said Intel has launched the products simultaneously in all countries across the world. He also said the energy saving processors would help users with 8-10 percent less power usage, fast mobile broadband usage, multi-tasking facilities and brilliant graphic capabilities. The 32 nanometre technology based processors are capable to integrate all new and old software that would support the PCs for faster video, photo and music downloading, he added. Intel Corporation's Country Business Manager of Bangladesh Zia Manzur said the Core i7 and Core i5 processors were built with Intel turbo boost and hyper-threading technology that would also help ATMs, travel kiosks and digital displays to perform better. Asked about the position of Bangladesh in PC penetration in the context of South Asian countries, Sandeep Aurora said SA countries are lagging behind in PC penetration as the private and public sectors are yet to play its role in it. He added that the government should make the information flow free with the help of Information and Communication Technology, the village people should be educated with proper ICT service and the connectivity should be increased to fill up the gap between the urban and rural sector. Addressing to a query of launching Intel's PC production in Bangladesh for the school goers, Zia Manzur said the Magellan Project is now in the government table for consideration. He added if the project is initiated, then the government has to have readiness in connectivity, local content development and also in training for the teachers and students. Binary Logic, Ryans Computer, Rishit Computer and Flora PC are already showcasing PC and laptops with Intel's new core 2010 family processor. The cost ranges from Tk 42,000 to Tk 58,000.
