All the major business PC manufacturers in Australia -- except Apple -- announced products based on Intel's vPro chipset this week; vPro is designed to improve desktop management facilities for administrators.
Intel has decided to borrow the sequential naming scheme it used for its famous Pentium brand and apply it to the new Core line of chips.
Though Intel spent much time during the past week touting the benefits of Yonah, a dual-core chip for notebooks, the company said it will come out with a single-core version too.
Chip maker Intel is prepararing to rollout a slew of new 45-nanometre Penryn processors in the first year, according to industry reports.
Toshiba has updated its business and consumer notebook line-up introducing models with Intel's Centrino Pro platform and Core 2 Duo processors.
He led the Pentium team, and had a major hand in Centrino... what's next for Anand Chandrasekher?

Intel on Wednesday took the wraps off a pair of upcoming chip technologies.
Improvements to the processor, chipset and wireless components of Intel's latest mobile platform should result in a new generation of faster notebooks with longer battery life. Business systems will also get Intel's Active Management Technology (AMT) for the first time, while Turbo Memory should reduce the frequency of hard disk accesses, saving power and boosting performance.
The 14.1-inch R61 includes all the important parts of Intel's revamped Centrino platform, including the new Core 2 Duo, extra onboard Turbo Memory, and 802.11n.
Toshiba's Satellite Pro P100 is a competent multimedia workhorse that could easily replace most regular desktop PCs. It boasts powerful graphics and storage subsystems, while the Harmon/Kardon integrated speaker set beats most competing offerings hands-down.
The Dell Inspiron 9400 packs a solid set of multimedia features, and when configured with Intel's Core Duo processor, it has enough power to speed through virtually any task, from editing video to playing games.
The ASUS V6J is a reasonably compact thin-and-light notebook that has the added bonus of being quite powerful as well.
The TravelMate 8200's souped up internal components and copious features make it an undeniably attractive proposition, but its weight and dimensions make it less suited to life on the road.
The MacBook Pro may give Apple bragging rights to the prettiest and most powerful laptop on the planet.
