INTEL INTRODUCES FASTEST PENTIUM PROCESSOR DESIGNED FOR MOBILE COMPUTERS

New Voltage Reduction Technology Promotes Long Battery Life

SANTA CLARA, CALIF. -- May 30, 1995 -- Intel Corporation today introduced a
90MHz Pentium processor that will deliver desktop-equivalent performance
to mobile computers and promote long battery life. As a result, consumers
will see more choices in high-performance notebooks and subnotebooks
across a wide range of affordable price points.

The key to delivering this highest level of performance with very low power
consumption is Intel's innovative Voltage Reduction Technology. It allows
the Pentium Processor at iCOMP 735/90 MHz to operate at 3.3 volts using
off-the-shelf components, while its inner core operates at a lower power
2.9 volts. This means the 90MHz Pentium processor with Voltage Reduction
Technology consumes up to 30 percent less power than its desktop
counterpart, a critical advantage in the confined spaces of notebooks and
subnotebooks.

Coupled with the postage-stamp sized Tape Carrier Package (TCP) introduced
last year, faster speeds of Intel Pentium processors will reach the mobile
market segment with enhancements and capabilities commonplace in
desktops.

"Mobile users can run today's advanced desktop applications on a Pentium
processor notebook without compromising performance or battery life," said
Stephen P. Nachtsheim, vice president, Mobile Products Group. "And,
Pentium processor-based notebooks equipped with CD-ROMs and integrated
sound are now bringing multimedia applications to mobile users."

He also said the introduction of higher-performing Pentium processors
creates new, affordable mobile system segments. Nachtsheim said by year
end, most notebook vendors' mainstream product lines will be completely
composed of Pentium processor-based systems, with entry-level prices in
the $2,000 to $3,000 range. These attractive price ranges will help fuel
growth in the mobile market segment, which Dataquest, a market research
firm, estimates will exceed 11 million units this year, a 30 percent
increase over 1994.

Pentium Processor Mobile Advantage

Voltage Reduction Technology is the latest enhancement in the Pentium
Processor Mobile Advantage, a series of technologies developed by Intel to
address issues unique to the mobile computing environment. By successfully
designing and engineering around issues such as overall system size,
weight, thermal management, and battery life, system vendors have been
able to continue to innovate and deliver mobile systems that rival their
desktop counterparts. In addition to Voltage Reduction Technology, the
Pentium Processor Mobile Advantage includes:

* Tape Carrier Packaging (TCP), a postage stamp-sized package for the
microprocessor that is thinner than a dime which frees up space in
systems, allowing vendors to innovate or enhance system capabilities

* On-chip module power down mechanism in which the cache and floating point
unit power down when not needed, providing additional power savings

* SL Technology for efficient power management at the processor and system
levels, in use with four generations of Intel processors

The 90-MHz Pentium processor for mobile systems is offered in both Tape
Carrier Packaging (TCP) and conventional ceramic packaging with built-in
Voltage Reduction Technology. In 1,000-unit quantities it is priced at
$427. A 75-MHz Pentium processor for mobile systems is also available with
Voltage Reduction Technology, and is priced at $275 in 1,000-unit
quantities. The 90- and 75-MHz Pentium processors for mobile computers are
available now in volume and are manufactured on Intel's 0.6 micron process
technology.

The 90-MHz Pentium processor is up to 20 percent faster than the 75-MHz
Pentium processor. It delivers 110 SPECint92 and 84 SPECfp of performance.
It has a typical power dissipation of 2.5 to 3.5 watts and idle power
consumption of less than 1 watt.

Comprehensive information about the 90-MHz Pentium processor is also
available at Intel's site on the World Wide Web. The information is part
of Intel's WWW home page at URL http://www.intel.com/.

Intel, the world's largest chip maker, is also a leading manufacturer of
personal computer, networking and communications products.
