Chip rivals Intel and Advanced Micro Devices unveiled new sets of processors Tuesday, with Intel launching a new lineup of mobile processors and AMD taking the wraps off four 64-bit chips for desktops.

Intel, Santa Clara, Calif., said it was shipping new Mobile Pentium 4 processors for desktop replacement notebooks, as well as a new, lower-cost mobile Celeron M processor.

The Mobile Pentium 4 processors, based on Intel's Prescott processor, range in clock speed from 2.8GHz to 3.2GHz and include Hyper-Threading technology and a 1-Mbyte Level 2 cache. The new mobile Celeron M processor has a clock speed of 1.5GHz and 512 Kbytes of Level 2 cache. It also runs at a lower core voltage than other Celerons, which Intel said will reduce power consumption and heat.
