Santa Clara, CA - Intel Corporation President and CEO Paul Otellini addressed the lawsuit brought on by AMD, and has also introduced a 64-bit Celeron processor...
"Intel has always respected the laws of the countries in which we operate," Otellini said Wednesday. "We compete aggressively and fairly to deliver the best value to consumers. This will not change.
"Over the years, Intel has been involved in other antitrust suits and faced similar issues. Every one of those matters has been resolved to our satisfaction. We unequivocally disagree with AMD's claims and firmly believe this latest suit will be resolved favorably, like the others."
Earlier this week, Intel completed their 64-bit product transitioning on the desktop line with the introduction of the Celeron® D processor 351.
With appropriate 64-bit supporting hardware and software, PCs based on an Intel processor supporting Intel Extended Memory 64 Technology (Intel EM64T) can enable the use of extended virtual and physical memory. For example, on digital media applications 64-bit desktop computing enables faster performance with its ability to process more in main memory, also referred to as RAM, due to less data caching to and from the hard drive. Also, Intel processors supporting Intel EM64T provide headroom for processing high-definition video by enabling improvements in both speed and quality of workflow with its ability to handle large amounts of data.
Based on Intel’s industry leading 90nm process technology, available in the LGA775 package, the Intel Celeron D processor 351 features a 256KB Level 2 cache, a 533 MHz system bus, a processor speed of 3.20 GHz, and support for the Execute Disable Bit.
Intel also announced that it is shipping the Intel Celeron D processors 346, 341, 336, 331 and 326 in the LGA775 package with support for Intel EM64T and the Execute Disable Bit.
The Intel Celeron D processor 350, introduced along with the 351, available in the mPGA478 package, features a 256KB Level 2 cache, a 533 MHz system bus, and has a processor speed of 3.20 GHz. This processor does not support Intel EM64T and is compatible with Intel 910 Express chipset-based platforms as well as Intel 845 and 865 chipset-based platforms.
