“The usage model for a PC among the typical Malaysian households has evolved from being a simple productivity tool to one that runs multimedia-rich entertainment and communications applications. This includes file sharing, viewing high-definition videos, photo editing, gaming, and live content streaming over the web.

The evolution of our computing requirements has therefore resulted in an increasing demand for higher performance PC systems with energy efficiency features like never before. At Intel, we’re set to meet these demands by providing consumers with breakthrough performance PCs at the most affordable price points to make it easier for users to have access to better and more feature-rich technologies,” said Simon Chan, marketing manager of Intel Malaysia.

Intel’s commitment to offer Intel Core 2 Quad systems at such an affordable price is part of the company’s ongoing initiative to provide mainstream consumers with a better choice of processors that enhance overall PC performance and multitasking capabilities. Meanwhile, entry level users who are looking for a basic day-to-day computing system will find the Intel Core 2 Duo based PCs ideal and extremely affordable as a tool for them to enjoy their first step into the exciting world of multi-media.

Computer systems powered by Intel Core 2 Duo and Intel Core 2 Quad processors also provide a major breakthrough in areas such as energy efficiency. For instance, the Intel® Dynamic Bus Parking feature enables platform power savings and improved battery life by allowing the chipset to power down with the processor in low-frequency mode. Furthermore, the Enhanced Intel® Deeper Sleep with Dynamic Cache Sizing capability enable PCs to save power by flushing cache data to system memory during periods of inactivity to lower CPU voltage.
