Intel announces 45nm "Penryn" processors

Intel has unveiled 16 server and high-end PC processors, from the code-named "Penryn" platform that promise to increase computer performance and save energy use and will be used in high-end PCs, desktops and performance laptops.

These new chips, under the "Intel Core 2 Extreme" and "Xeon" brand names are the first to be manufactured on the company's 45nm manufacturing process, which boosts performance and lowers power consumption.

Intel says combining these two advancements with new processor features enables Intel to continue delivering faster and more energy-efficient processors that are better for the environment.

The smaller, faster and more cost effective processors are expected to be seen in products from early-2008.
