Intel today introduced the mobile Pentium III processor at 1GHz featuring Intel SpeedStep technology. So, Intel appeared the first to overcome 1GHz barrier in the mobile market. Intel also introduced the mobile Pentium III processor at 900MHz with Intel SpeedStep technology and the mobile Intel Celeron processor at 750MHz (no SpeedStep support).
In Maximum Performance Mode the processor runs at 1GHz and operates at 1.7V. In Battery Optimized Mode both clock frequency and voltage are scaled down and the processor runs at 700MHz, at 1.35V, while consuming less than 2W of average power. The processor is based on the 0.18micron process technology, features a 100MHz system bus, 256KB full-speed Advanced Transfer Cache, Advanced System Buffering, and Streaming SIMD extensions for higher system performance. As for Celeron, its Vcore is always equal to 1.6V, it also features a 100MHz system bus and 128KB full-speed L2 cache.
In 1,000-unit quantities, in Ball Grid Array (BGA) and Pin Grid Array (uPGA) packaging, the mobile Pentium III processor at 1GHz and 900MHz featuring Intel SpeedStep technology, and the mobile Intel Celeron processors are priced at $722, $562 and $170, respectively.
