Intel to Add WiMax, 3G Support to UMPC Chipsets

Intel's about to announce embedded support for both WiMax and 3G in their upcoming Menlow chip packages, which fit nicely into UMPCs running either Windows or Linux. Intel's Ultra Mobility Group will give the WiMax, 3G, and Wi-Fi options to UMPC builders, but it will be up to these OEMs to incorporate the features into the final build—which in turn ships to you when you send them money. The target date for these look like early 2008, which means it'll probably be mid 2008 before you actually get them. [Yahoo]

This expands the previous limitations of HD Radio and could allow for portable HD Radio receiver and even implementation into cellphones and other portable devices (Zune?). More »

AMD's New Mobile Chipset Gives You 25% More Battery Juice

We know what you're trying to do, AMD. You're trying to steal Intel's thunder by announcing your new M690 mobile chipset before Intel goes live with theirs. You're tempting us by telling us it'll deliver a 25% boost in battery life (that's over 5 hours) and that you'll be partnering with Nvidia (over your own child ATI) and Broadcom for integrated graphics and wireless. And y'know something, it works. But we're still gonna wait and see what Intel has to offer. Just 'cause you never know what else is out there. More »
