For example, both Intel and A.M.D.'s standard desktop and portable chips now have two cores, and even the iPhone is reported to have three microprocessors.
But Mr. Patterson brightened when he learned the new chip might consume as little as one-tenth the power of Intel's best portable chips, which means it would run much cooler and have a much longer battery life.
Intel has made a big deal out of the SpeedStep technology in its new Pentium portable chips, which operate at maximum speed when connected to an external power source but ratchet down to a slower, more energy-efficient speed when running on battery power.
The portable chips also bring in bigger profits for Intel, which has seen its profit margins decline over the past year as a result of stronger competition primarily from Applied Micro Devices amd and National Semiconductor nsm –at the low end of the desktop market.
In general, electrical/electrochemical detection systems are relatively smaller and more easily adapted into portable, chip-based platforms.
If caught in a similar predicament, experts suggest removing the phone's battery immediately, as well as its portable memory chip, known as a SIM card.
Phones built for overseas networks that run on GSM can usually work on AT&T and T-Mobile's U.S. networks, once their portable memory chip, or SIM, card has been swapped out.
This can be the first step toward a smart and portable micro-chip sensor[31].
However, their applicability for on-line diagnosis is hindered by the lack of sensitive and portable on-chip optical detection technology.
c Standard curve for detecting CA72-4 through data from a portable fluorescence immunoassay chip detector.
To get a quantitative data of CA72-4, furthermore, the portable fluorescence immunoassay chip detector was used.
