Best Buy already stocked up on the Core i5-equipped VAIO S and Satellite E205, and now it seems that everyone else is following suit. Just weeks after Intel announced that it would be releasing Core i5 and Core i7 chips for the mobile realm, the usual suspects have already outed a number of refreshed rigs that include said slabs of silicon. Sony’s 14-inch VAIO CW is now available from $829 with a mobile Core i3, while the $1,120 version ships with a Core i5, NVIDIA’s GeForce GT 330M CPU and a Blu-ray combo drive. Dell has obliged by adding a 2.53GHz Core i5 to its

An e-mail sent to members of Intel’s Retail Edge promotional program highlight an upcoming MacBook Pro from Apple with a new Core i5 processor. The promotion was included in an e-mail sent to members of the Intel Retail Edge Program. It reads: “January Prize Draw: Win a MacBook Pro. Pass this month’s trainings for 2 chances to win one of 2 MacBook Pro laptops with the accelerated response of an Intel Core i5 processor.” Right now, the top MacBook Pro has an Intel Core 2 Duo processor. Last week at CES, Intel formally introduced the new line of

Intel has sent out a revised email to members of the Intel Retail Edge Program, who previously received an email offering a MacBook Pro powered by an Intel Core i5 processor, changing the prize laptop offered from a Intel Core i5 MacBook Pro, to a HP ENVY laptop (which is obviously still powered by the Core i5 processor). While this is disappointing, it doesn’t mean that we won’t be offered a Core i5-powered MacBook Pro from Apple, just that Intel isn’t offering one for free at the moment, that’s all, so you can keep

If you were at the National Retail Federation Convention (NRF) in New York recently, chances are that you would have bumped into an awesome piece of technology innovation displayed there in the form of a 7-foot-6-inch signage. Put up by none other than Intel, the new multi-user, multi-touch Intel Intelligent Digital Signage concept is a prototype that could be a common landmark in the future at malls convention centers, airports, banks and cinemas. One significant feature of the Intel Intelligent Digital Signage device is that it can be used by multiple consumers. The side

You don’t have to look hard to figure out that apps are a huge business. Apple was the first to make huge money from its App Store for the iPhone and the company has now had 3 billion downloads from the store. Intel and several major computer makers have teamed up to develop and offer apps for netbook users via an Intel app store called AppUp. The store will offer apps that are free and those that are paid for download. The apps will be in several different classes reading from business apps, to games, and entertainment as well as several other categories. The first apps are

Nokia and Intel formed a partnership about a year ago, and the general public opinion was that Intel will be making processors for Nokia. Oddly enough, LG revealed an Intel-powered handset at CES 2010. What’s even more odd is that the phone seems to be competing against LG’s own BL40 Chocolate Touch – kind of a weird marketing move. The LG GW990 uses an Intel Moorestown processor, and features a 4.8″ touchscreen display, GPS support, and a built-in digital compass. The device also supports 3G and HSPA, Wi-Fi, and has a 5-megapixel camera. HD video is

Intel has officially released its latest dual and quad core Clarkable and Arrandale CPUs. The unveiling of these desktop and laptop CPUs comes as a major blow to AMD which has been eating into the Intel market share for a while now. Intel, with these launches, has brought to the market as many as 27 different chips and seven individual chipsets. The launch also means that Intel has effectively incorporated properties such as smaller motherboard form factors, lower power consumption, and better cooling for the integrated chips. The advantages would include advanced
