Intel shows off Banias

Intel today demoed Banias, the codename for its latest class of mobile processors, together with the tweaked- for-mobiles Odem chipset, for the first time at IDF.

Shipping in the first half of next year, Banias marks the next generation of P4 processor technology for notebooks.

The first iteration of P4 technology for mobiles, the P4-M, will run at "greater than 1.5GHz "speed; other P4-M spec teasers include: incorporation of a version of the Intel 845 chipset; 400MHz FSB and 266MHz DDR support. It's built using the 0.13micron manufacturing process and it's housed in micro flip chip pin array packaging. But when will the P4-M launch - as early as next week, according to CRN.
