Intel announces three new processors for PDAs

Intel Corporation has announced three new processors for PDAs, which
incorporate the latest microprocessor packaging and stacking techniques, and
deliver higher performance and longer battery life in less space than previous
versions.

"The PDA segment has had a number of exciting developments, aided by the
performance and power of the Intel PXA250 processor introduced a year ago,"
said Hans Geyer, VP and GM, Intel PCA Components Group, Intel. "By
introducing these processors, Intel enables even more features and functionality
by continuing to take advantage of its industry-leading design and manufacturing
expertise."

The new line-up includes two additions to the smaller, Intel PXA26x family,
including the Intel PXA263 processor, Intel’s first stacked processor for PDAs
and the Intel PXA260 processor, a "pin compatible" product.

The third product: the Intel PXA255 processor, is a replacement to the Intel
PXA250 processor that extends the overall system performance and battery-life of
PDAs.

Intel will also continue to extend the value of the new Intel XScale
technology-based processors to wireless smart display and portable media player
(PMP) market segments.

BenQ, Philips, Trigem, Wyse and ViewSonic are shipping smart displays using
Intel XScale technology-based processors, and will adopt the new processors in
upcoming versions.
