Intel on Wednesday released a new top-of-the-range processor for its family of chips for notebook computers.
The Pentium M model 765 runs at 2.10GHz and features a 2MB cache, a 400MHz system bus and improved power consumption, the company said. The new chip is built using the 90-nanometer manufacturing process. Pentium M processors are key parts of Intel's Centrino wireless bundle, which also includes a Wi-Fi module and a chipset. The mobile technology is designed to enhance video playback and wireless data transmission.
The company said the 765 model underpins the worldwide introduction of Centrino systems Wednesday. The chip is priced at $637 apiece in 1,000-unit quantities. The Pentium M 765 replaces the Pentium M 755, which runs at 2GHz and contains 2MB of cache, as the top chip in the line. The 755 model was also priced at $637 before Sunday, when Intel slashed prices of older Pentium M processors by up to one-third. Notebook processors remain a strong point in the Santa Clara, Calif.-based company's rivalry with Advanced Micro Devices.

According to the WWE suit, Bell hid "clearly superior" pitches from Activision and THQ from senior management, and advised Jakks to enhance its offer - resulting in the THQ partnership which continues to produce the hugely successful wrestling titles to this day.
The WWE now wants the resulting license to be nullified, and is also seeking damages resulting from the alleged bribery.
Commenting on the lawsuit this morning, THQ denied any wrongdoing and expressed its belief that it has handled the WWE license in a manner which is satisfactory to all parties involved in the deal.
"THQ believes that WWE is pleased with the manner in which THQ has managed their brand in the video game category," the statement reads. "As THQ is not directly accused of any wrongdoing in the complaint - rather the complaint alleges wrongdoing on the part of Jakks Pacific and others of which THQ was and is unaware - THQ is not in a position to comment on these allegations."
"In the event, either there is no basis for terminating the video game license, or THQ expects to be made whole by those whose conduct is eventually found to be unlawful. THQ intends to vigorously protect and pursue its rights, if necessary," it concludes.
In the event of the bribery allegations being proved true, it's certainly possible that THQ would be in a position to seek damages from those responsible if it truly was unaware of the situation - and the firm could be expected to win the WWE license for itself in such a situation.
