Intel sheds light on plans for CES
Intel has revealed its plans for new products to be unveiled at next month's Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. The company said at a special event in San Francisco on Thursday that it will debut 27 new components, including 17 new processors.
Intel director of marketing Uday Marty told reporters that the new chips are designed to cover the entire spectrum and bring the Nehalem architecture throughout the company's product line. Among the new products will be new Core i5 and Core i3 chips to complement the high end Core i7 line.
The Core i3 chips will provide the basic advantages of the Nehalem architecture for low-end users, while the Core i5 chips will feature the Turbo Boost feature and focus on users who perform more demanding tasks such as video or photo editing.
