Centrino - Unwired Technology
Intel®, the industry leader in PC processor technology, brings
you Centrino™, an innovative new standard for true mobile notebook
performance and capability. Being mobile is about freedom. Freedom
to move, connect and enjoy. Intel Centrino™ delivers unprecedented
CPU performance, battery standby times, low heat generation, ultralight
and thin chassis and built-in wireless networking.
The Millennia™ 6400/6450 embraces Centrino™ technology, merging
the raw power of advanced IT equipment with lifestyle and practical,
ergonomic elements that it is pleasurable to use. Imagine whisper
quiet operational noise in the still of the night, or a keyboard you
can type on for hours without fear of scorching your fingertips or
having confidence your battery will sustain your Millennia 6400/6450 through
the big presentation.
As the use of video, audio and detailed graphics becomes
more prevalent, and the number and types of foreground and background
applications increase, mobile processing power has become more important
than ever. The Intel Pentium®-M processor, running at clock speeds
of up to 2.13Ghz is cleaverly matched with a massive cache of 2Mb
- Twice that of the desktop based Intel® Pentium® 4 Prescott
range of CPUs - producing unparalleled levels of mobile specific CPU
performance. In fact, performance tests have shown that despite the
lower gigahertz rating, the Pentium-M surpases desktop based CPUs
in the mobile computing arena due to an improved instruction set,
large cache, and reduced heat generation. Move between a multimedia
slideshow and a home video with ease thanks to technology that offers
faster execution of instructions at lower power. Intel Centrino mobile
technology also features advanced instruction prediction to eliminate
CPU process replication, and second-generation Streaming SIMD Extensions
with instructions integrated into the software to enhance performance.

 15.4"
WXGA Cinematic Wide-Screen LCD.
Widescreen technology is taking the world by storm with it's natural
viewing layout and fullscreen capabilities for video and digital
still imaging based on the 16:10 aspect ratio. The Millennia 6400/6450's
15.4" WXGA Ultrabright LCD screen supports a maximum resolution
of 1280x800 which represents over 30% more information, on-screen,
than a standard 15" XGA LCD. More than just a superior display
for DVD playback, you can view spreadsheets and tool intensive graphics
applications with must less need to scroll. Furthermore, studies
have shown that the ergonomic benefits of the 16:10 aspect ratio
significantly reduces eye and neck strain - comforting news for
those two are likely to spend hours on their Millennia™ 6400/6450.

High Performance Hard Drives.
A notebook's hard disk subsystem is often the most overlooked aspect
of system performance. For many years, the notebook computer was limited
to hard disks produced with slow rpm speeds to sustain reliability.
Big bottlenecks in performance would be caused rendering superior
CPU and memory subsystems to idle whilst they waited for the hard
disk subsystem to catch up. Long load times and stalling applications
were typically the experience. Recently, new technological innovations
have made it possible to produce notebook hard disks (2.5") that
can operate up to 7200rpm - in line with standard desktop hard drives.
The Millennia™ 6400/6450 takes full advtange of these new drives
with the likes of the Hitachi E7K60, featuring 8mb on-board cache,
100MB/sec Ultra DMA mode-5 transfer with 10ms seek times. Make sure
you demand a 7200rpm drive as a custom build option in your Millennia™
6400/6450 notebook. |
| Burn CDs, Make Movies, Store Data!
A barrage of optical drive units from respectable manufacturers like
panasonic, teac and toshiba means you can have your Millennia 6400/6450
burn anything from CD data to DVD movies at factory output speeds.
Choose from a 24x16x16x CD-RW/8xDVD-ROM combo for CD Authoring and
DVD playback, a 2xDVD-R/W which adds DVD Movie burning capabilities
and the ultimate 4xDVD+/-R/W to do anything under the sun at the fastest
speeds possible. |
