PC Week Online reports that Intel planned to roll out this week the road map for its next-generation StrongARM processor, including high-end chips running at 600MHz and processors requiring as little as a half watt of power.

At the Embedded Processor Forum in San Jose, Calif., the chip maker planned to discuss a range of processors to be manufactured using the .18 micron process that Intel expects to start shipping in the first quarter of next year

As part of the effort, Intel is prepping next-generation StrongARM processors will deliver two to three times the performance of the current chips while reducing power consumption by up to a factor of 10.
