In 2003, it was still a quick update of hardware products. The manufacturers have launched a new generation of products. The following we are a simple review, reviewing the way, generally summarizing important products published this year. However, due to space limit, many products are not coming and joined.
January 6, Transmeta releases a CRUSOE SE processor:

Crusoe S is an embedded processor. The full name of Crusoe SE is Crusoe Special Embedded, the processor's climate frequency ranges from 667MHz to 933MHz, and has power saving and standard versions, and the operating temperature is not high. The United States also uses unique longrun and fever control technology in the Crusoe SE series processor. The working voltage and operating frequency are automatically adjusted according to the processor running task. The design of the Crusose SE embedded processor has an average non-fault working time for 10 years (run 24 hours a day).
January 7th, Apple released a 17-inch PowerBook G4

Deltachrome displays the core to support Pixel Shaders, Vertex Shaders (2.0 ), but also fully supports DirectX 9, the Deltachrome chip uses TSMC 0.13 micron manufacturing technology. This is a graphic chip facing the desktop market.
January 8, Intel released Centrino (Centrino) architecture
The figure is: Intel Releases Centrino (Centrino) architecture
The new laptop architecture - Centrino (Chinese name is Centrino), the literal meaning of Centrino represents Flights, Mobile (Mobility) and the forward movement, from the actual architecture of Centrino, Many architectures in Intel are not very different. Centrino is no longer a simple processor architecture, but a integrated general name made by wireless mobile computing technology. This technology will be the best technology for Intel as a laptop planning. It is primarily based on a new mobile processor, including the best wireless transmission function, longer battery life, lighter volume and external, and the best performance.
January 14, Intel released a 852GM chipset:

The size of Jukebox Zen is quite compact, but the hard disk capacity reaches 20GB. The previous ZEN has used USB 1.1 transmission interface, so the speed is relatively slow, and it will undoubtedly improve the exchange rate between the products and the computer after switching with the USB 2.0 interface. Therefore, it is very popular in the market.
On January 21st, the western data released a single-disc capacity of 80GB hard drive products:
