Just days after dropping prices on its line of Centrino mobile processors for notebook PCs, Intel has added an incrementally speedier chip: the Pentium M 765. Analysts said the new chip is no big deal. Jim McGregor, principal analyst at In-Stat/MDR, told TechNewsWorld that the slightly higher speed chip will have no impact on the market. The 765 offers 2 MB of Level 2 cache and what Intel calls a “power-optimized” 400 MHz system bus.
