Just joy in the headquarters of Intel

The giant Intel announced on Wednesday that its second generation Core chip family sold no less than 75 million units since its arrival in stores earlier this year, becoming just the processor with the best initial sales of the history of company.


The announcement was made by Molly Eden, vice president and general manager of the PC Client Group (a division of Intel dedicated to producing components for personal computers) during the conference Intel Developer Forum (IDF), which is happening in San Francisco. And yes, Molly is the name of a man.

According to Eden, now a million computers are sold every day, with developing countries' leading sales growth. "

In stores since January of this year, the new Core family processors (i3, i5, and i7) are built on Sandy Bridge microarchitecture with 32nm transistors, allowing better performance indices with moderate consumption of electricity. In May, they gave rise to ultrabooks, family of chips that allows production of a large notebook "thin, light and beautiful" that offer a good performance at low cost.

During his presentation, Eden said he hopes that ultrabooks further expand global sales of the company, both in rich countries as in developing countries.
