Otellini, right, stands with Rackable Systems CEO Tom Barton in front of a 22-inch-tall rack of servers with 80 quad-core “Clovertown” Xeon processors. The chips are scheduled to ship in November.

Anand Chandrasekher, leader of Intel’s new business for low-power processors and ultramobile personal computers, shows an ultramobile PC (UMPC) built by Quanta that uses an Intel processor. The device has a pull-out keyboard, WiMax networking, and a 1024-by-768-pixel, 5-inch screen.

Chandrasekher transfers map information from an ultramobile PC (UMPC) to the built-in computer in a Volskwagen car.
