Asus set to launch 12-inch Core i3/i5 Laptops

@ 2010/05/21
NOTEBOOKS WITH INTEL's Core i range of processors appear to be getting shrinking and Asus smallest model should be the 12-inch UL20FT which is set to launch at Computex. The chassis should be similar to the UL20A, but we don't have the exact details so you'll have to bear with us until Computex for the final list of features.

What we do know is that Asus will offer the UL20FT with a choice of two different CPU's, the Celeron U3400 and the Core i3 330UM, both of which are low power mobile processors. The Celeron U3400 should have a clock speed of a mere 1.02GHz and lacks support for Turbo Boost, while the Core i3 330UM is slightly faster at 1.2GHz, although again, this CPU shouldn't have Turbo Boost support, unlike the Core i5 UM processors. On a brighter note, Asus has implemented its Turbo33 technology which allows both CPU's to be overclocked by up to 33 percent.
