In total, Intel will bring 14 diverse new processors into the marketplace as laptop sales continue to outpace desktop PCs.

Intel Corporate Vice President and General Manager of the company's Mobile Platforms Group, Mooly Eden said, "When we first introduced Intel Centrino back in 2003, there were very few Wi-Fi hotspots, YouTube videos and social media didn't really exist, ?thin and light' only referred to weight goals and desktop PCs outsold notebooks by a very wide margin. Today, we're paving the way to HD entertainment, rich online gaming, faster broadband wireless speeds and an easier and more secure way for businesses to manage, update and repair their notebook fleets."
