Intel Releases ULV 17-watt Sandy Bridge CPUs

June 23rd, 2011 by Manmohan Leave a reply »

The Core i5-2557M has already found a home in the Asus UX21 that was modeled as an Ultrabook at Computex earlier this month.

Apple is also expected to refresh its line of MacBook Air laptops with this new family of chips.

Apple’s current MacBook Air still use Core 2 Duo CPUs paired with Nvidia chipsets, as license agreements prevent the pairing of Nvidia technology with Intel’s current generation of processors.

The integrated graphics of Intel’s Sandy Bridge chips, however, will likely be enough to satisfy Apple’s performance targets for the MacBook Air.
