Intel will break the 2GHz barrier for notebook PCs on Monday with the launch of a new Pentium 4-M chip.
The new 2GHz Pentium 4-M chip, which also comes along with a 1.9GHz Pentium 4-M and a handful of mobile Celerons, meet's Intel's internal target for shipping a 2GHz mobile chip by mid-year.
Although the PC market overall has lurched into the doldrums again, notebooks have fared better than desktops in a variety of markets for some time. Notebook shipments are expected to grow 17 percent year over year in 2002 from 2001, said Anand Chandrasekher, vice president and general manager of Intel's Mobile Platforms Group, citing a study from Gartner.
