Fremont, CA, July 27, 2006 — ACMA delivers a new line of low power Intel® Core™ 2 Duo desktop platforms. These new platforms consists of desktop PCs tailored for business, home, and enthusiast users, such as high-end gamers, and graphics workstations that will deliver industry leading performance for such areas as design, content creation and technical computing.

These new Core™ 2 Duo platforms are based on the revolutionary Intel® Core™ microarchitecture, designed to provide powerful yet energy-efficient performance. With the power of dual cores, or computing engines, the processors can manage numerous tasks faster. They provide up to a 40 percent increase in performance and are more than 40 percent more energy efficient versus Intel's previous best processor.  They also can operate more smoothly when multiple applications are running, such as writing e-mails while downloading music or videos and conducting a virus scan. These new platforms also include many advanced innovations, including:

• Intel® Wide Dynamic Execution – Improves performance and efficiency as each core can complete up to four full instructions simultaneously using an efficient 14-stage pipeline.
• Intel® Smart Memory Access – Improves system performance by hiding memory latency, thus optimizing the use of available computer data bandwidth to provide data to the processor when and where it is needed.
• Intel® Advanced Smart Cache – Includes a shared L2 cache or memory reservoir to reduce power by minimizing memory "traffic" yet increases performance by allowing one core to utilize the entire cache when the other core is idle. Only Intel provides this capability in all segments.
• Intel® Advanced Digital Media Boost – Effectively doubles the execution speed for instructions used widely in multimedia and graphics applications.
• Intel® 64 Technology – This enhancement to Intel's 32-bit architecture supports 64-bit computing, including enabling the processor to access larger amounts of memory.
• Intel® Virtualization Technology, allowing one hardware platform to function as multiple “virtual” platforms.
• Execute Disable Bit, providing enhanced virus production when deployed with a supported operating system.
