超極致筆電- 定義
2010年MacBook Air與傳統筆電構造之差異: ● 捨棄傳統硬碟(HDD),改用快閃記憶體或固態硬碟(SSD)(快速開機、快速讀寫、抗震) ● 捨棄光碟機(蘋果認為隨身碟、無線傳輸、雲端等形式將會淘汰掉光碟,故蘋果也從未引進藍光光碟機) ● 捨棄非必要的插槽與設備(故光碟與有線網路介面皆得依靠外接裝置) ● 節省出的空間用以擺放大量電池(搭配省電的快閃記憶體,故能擁有極長待機時間) Ultrabook 發展規劃 英特爾計劃將超極致筆電在未來2011到2013年實行三步走,並伴以低電壓的Sandy Bridge,Ivy Bridge,和Haswell處理器。 第一階段 2011年第四季度 ● 超薄– 薄於20 mm (0.8 英寸) ● 超輕– 輕於1.4 kg (3.1 磅) ● 超長待機 – 至少5~8小時 ● 超主流價格 – 大約 $1,000 USD ● 無光碟機 ● 使用SSD作為主要存儲介質 ● 使用CULV (17 W TDP)英特爾Sandy Bridge處理器 ● Core i5-2467M (1.6 GHz) ● Core i5-2557M (1.7 GHz) ● Core i7-2637M (1.7 GHz) ● Core i7-2677M (1.8 GHz) ● 整合英特爾 HD 3000 圖形晶片(12 EUs) 第二階段 2012年 ● 更新至CULV 英特爾Ivy Bridge處理器 ● 計劃支援: ● 比Sandy Bridge強大30%的圖形處理能力 ● 比Sandy Bridge強大20%的CPU處理能力 ● 支援USB 3.0, PCI Express 3.0 ● 整合英特爾 HD 4000 形晶片 第三階段 2013年 ● 更新至CULV 英特爾Haswell處理器 ● 全新的省電系統– 僅有2011年超筆電的一半功耗 ● 多核心製造工藝(Westmere) ● 整合英特爾 HD 4xxx-5xxx 圖形晶片 |
Ultrabook Computer
Ultrabook is a specification and brand developed by Intel for a class of high-end subnotebooks which are designed to feature reduced bulk without compromising performance and battery life. They use low-power Intel Core processors, solid-state drives, and unibody chassis to help meet these criteria. Due to their limited size, they typically omit common laptop features such as optical disc drives and Ethernet ports. History In 2012, Intel Capital announced a new fund to support startups working on technologies in line with the company's concept for next generation notebooks. The company set aside a $300 million fund to be spent over the next three to four years in areas related to Ultrabooks. Intel announced the Ultrabook concept at Computex in 2011. The Ultrabook would be a thin (less than 0.8 inches thick) notebook that utilized Intel processors, and would emphasize portability and a longer battery life than other laptops By this marketing initiative and an associated $300 million fund, Intel hoped to influence the slumping PC market against rising competition from smartphones and tablet computers, which are typically powered by competing ARM-based processors. The Ultrabook directly competes against other subnotebooks, including Apple’s MacBook Air, which has similar form specifications and is powered by Intel CPUs, but runs Mac OS X. At the Intel Developer Forum in 2011, four Taiwan ODMs showed prototype Ultrabooks that used Intel's Ivy Bridge chips. Intel plans to reduce power consumption of its chips for Ultrabooks, like Ivy Bridge processors, which will feature 17W default thermal design power. At a presentation at the Consumer Electronics Show, an Intel manager stated that market analysis revealed that screen size motivated some of the reluctance to switch to 13" Ultrabooks. As a result, Intel planned to ensure, through cooperation with manufacturers, a 14 or 15-inch screen on 50% of the 75 Ultrabook models that would likely come to market in 2012. |
