Intel® Mobile Pentium III Processors featuring Intel® SpeedStep? technology
The new mobile Pentium® III processors are the fastest, smallest, most flexible yet. They feature Intel® SpeedStep? technology, a revolutionary new technology that enables the user to automatically switch between two modes: Maximum Performance mode and Battery Optimized mode. Think about it: increased speed, performance and power - better graphics and audio, faster communication, more power for applications and a richer Internet experience.PLEASE NOTE: Intel SpeedStep technology is not available on the Dell Inspiron 8000
Enable higher polygon counts and advanced lighting effects which can provide software and Web sites with more lifelike surfaces, more objects rendered in a given scene, and amazing shadow effects and reflections rendered in real time. This makes for more immersive gaming and entertainment experiences on your PC and more detail and convenience for online shopping.
Enables software developers to incorporate a greater degree of realism and interactivity, e.g. flight simulators with wings that actually flex.
Can provide better responsiveness with your graphics software by offering increased frame rates, color depths, and image processing algorithms. This means you can work with large, complex images and digital photographs without the wait.
Because video files tend to be large, all the benefits of the Pentium III processor realized for still imaging are even more important for editing and viewing video. In addition, the performance capabilities of the processor allow for real-time MPEG-2 video encoding and editing and great performance for streaming video-resulting in higher quality video on the Internet.
Battery life is also optimized via the QuickStart technology, an energy-saving feature of mobile Pentium III processors.
Intel® Mobile Celeron® Processors
The mobile Intel® Celeron? processors were specifically designed to provide great performance at an affordable price for businesses and consumers alike. Business people can take advantage of the latest PC applications at the office or on the road and parents can make interactive learning and entertainment an integral part of family life in the living room or on the next family vacation.
With power consumption that is equivalent to earlier Pentium® processors, mobile Intel Celeron processor s can deliver higher performance. A mobile Intel Celeron processor running at 650 MHz offers up to 47% multimedia improvement and runs Internet content creation up to 17% faster than a mobile Intel Celeron processor running at 400 MHz.
Although increased performance is critical to mobile computing, battery life must also be optimized. When the processor idles between computing tasks, QuickStart Technology, an energy-saving feature of mobile Intel Celeron processors, offers up to 60% savings in energy consumption compared to a Pentium processor with MMX technology.
