Intel announces launch of global latest mobile processor

Xinhua News (Reporter Dresdner) March 26, accompanied by the first 480 million chips in Chengdu packaging testing plant off the line, Intel announced that will be put into production in Chengdu first into 2010 new core processor, and additional investment of 20 million U.S. dollars. Founded in 2003, the Intel Chengdu plant, with a cumulative investment of 600 million U.S. dollars, is currently one of the world's largest chip packaging testing centers, taking on nearly 60% of Intel's global chip packaging tasks. Since October 2005 chip production, as of today has produced 480 million chips.　　According to Intel's official statement, currently on the market every 2 notebook computers have 1 units are Chengdu "Chi" Made in China "core".
