IDF Keynote. More on the UMPC news.

More information has come through on the keynote speech by Intel CEO Paul Otellini at the IDF.

Firstly, the complete keynote speech is available here. UMPC-related stuff starts at around the 50 min’s point.

You’ll hear Anand Chandrasekher, GM of the Ultra Mobile Group at Intel, talk about the Steeley processor. The Steeley processor will be the successor to the Celeron-M with a Merom-based (65nm process) reduced-cache version of the Yonah1 single-core processor that itself will replace the Pentium-M range. Quite what the name of the chip will be is still a mystery to me. Maybe it will be called Steeley, maybe Core as with the current processors.

The ultra mobile PC you saw in the video was built by Quanta (a very large production company for PCs) which to me, hints that the device could be lined-up for a large production run. The device in the video was Intel branded and had a 5″ 1024×768 screen.

Finally, a photo has surfaced of what looks like the Q1 in the same VW car.

Thanks to Winfuture.de for the image.
