Intel Shows Off “Canoe Lake” Platform for Ultra-Thin Netbooks.

02.06.10

Although netbooks were intended to be very slim, shallow and portable, actual manufacturers quickly realized that many consumers necessity larger screens, high-capacity hard drives and many other advanced technology from their budget-priced Intel Atom-based machines. As a result, costly ultra-thin notebooks are now not only thinner than the most of netbooks, but also weigh less and propose comparable battery life. But Intel Corp. wants to get the netbooks back to the roots.

At the Computex Taipei 2010 the cosmos’s largest maker of microprocessors demonstrated its “razor thin” jurisprudence-named Canoe Lake platform that promises to give the go-ahead the world’s thinnest netbooks platforms based on Pineview microprocessors with integrated graphics and celebration controllers. At just 14mm thin, Canoe Lake can accommodate both “Pine Sweep” single-core and dual-core Intel Atom platforms. According to Intel, the new thermal point of Canoe Lake allows it to run cool and quiet and be up to 50% thinner than the netbooks currently in the buy today.
