What are Mobile Processors?

Mobile Processors

     Mobile processors are used in numerous embedded systems, including laptops, personal digital organizers, calculators, wearable computers, cellular phones, portable internet terminals, MP-3 players, digital cameras, digital cam-coders, smart cards, and sensor networks nodes. These systems differ considerably in terms of their computational and communication requirements, and the types of real-time constraints. Nevertheless, mobile processors share a number of common characteristics. Most importantly, processors that are used in mobile applications are subject to design metrics, that emphasize cost, time-to-market, and low power. In contrast to desktop processor, just-in-time computing takes precedence over the traditional maximum performance metric.
     Q: What are the benefits of the Mobile Pentium III Processor – M?
     A: Incorporating 0.13-micron process technology and new micro-FCPGA and micro-FCBGA packaging technology, the Mobile Pentium III Processor – M allows for thinner, lighter notebooks. At speeds of up to 1.33 GHz, Intel's fastest mobile processor easily handles the most demanding applications such as 3D visualizations or next-generation operating systems. Enhanced Intel SpeedStep technology and Deeper Sleep enable longer battery life and lower power consumption. The processor is engineered to run at a lower temperature, so notebooks can run more reliably and quietly.
