(Business News & Technology News, 20 Aug 2008)

Toshiba's Digital Products Division (DPD) has announced its support of Intel and the launch of their mobile quad-core processors and WiMAX broadband technology, with laptop implementation in the fourth quarter of this year.

"Toshiba is proud of its strong relationship with Intel," says Jeff Barney, Vice President and General Manager, Toshiba America Information Systems Inc., Digital Products Division. "We strive to build innovative, mobile solutions that enhance the digital lifestyle, and we're confident that the latest Intel Quad-Core CPUs and WiMAX technologies will push processing power and wireless connectivity to unmatched heights."

The Intel mobile quad-core processors provide unprecedented multi-core performance to easily handle the most processor hungry tasks such as viewing and editing high-definition video content. Meanwhile, Intel's WiMAX broadband technology lays the foundation for next-generation wireless connectivity, empowering Toshiba laptop users with the capability to access data-intensive applications, such as media streaming, live video conferencing and mobile TV through a broadband-speed wireless internet connection with a geographical range that far exceeds what's possible via a Wi-Fi wireless hotspot.

Toshiba laptops supporting the new Intel mobile quad-core processor or WiMAX technology are currently under development, with an anticipated target availability of Q4 2008.
