Eurocom Corporation announced on June 8, 2004 that it now supports Intel Pentium M (Dothan) processor in all of their notebook models based on the Intel CentrinoTM mobile technology such as the Milano series (M360C, M375C, M375E, M470E) and the Convertible T210C notebook.
The Intel Pentium M processor (Dothan) is based on 90-nanometer technology very much like the Prescott processor, but with 2MB cache. The current Pentium M is based on 130nm like Northwood processor with 1MB cache. Dothan, which pairs higher clock speed with performance enhancements such as extra Level 2 cache, for a total of 2MB, will offer performance increases of between 10 percent and 17 percent compared with previous Pentium M chips. Intel has adapted the chip so that it can be produced using the company`s latest 90-nanometer manufacturing process. The newer process has allowed Intel to add the extra cache but hold the line on power consumption. A notebook based on Dothan has about the same battery life, an important consideration for notebook owners who spend time traveling.
Eurocom Corporation plans to offer the Pentium M Dothan processor in their regular and high-end Centrino-based notebook models. The new models scheduled to ship in late summer, will offer both a 15.4-inch and 17-inch WUXGA screen with a high resolution of 1920 x 1200 and will come with a Pentium M 735 at 1.7 GHz, Pentium M 745 at 1.8 GHz and Pentium M 755 at .0 GHz, the company president, Mark Bialic, said.
The EUROCOM new Dothan based notebooks such as M470E model with 17-inch WUXGA and M375E with 15.4-inch WUXGA display powered by ATI Radeon Mobility 9700 offering 128 MB of DDR video are designed for high-end gaming and professional markets demanding support for high-end graphics applications and fast computing. Eurocom strategy is to combine Intel Dothan chip technology with high-end video chipsets to position their Centrino performance systems on the high-end graphics and professional markets such as gaming or engineering.
