Intel has unveiled a new line of laptop chips that run at higher speeds and use less power.

The Penryn chips combine the company's Core 2 Duo processors with a 45-nanometer manufacturing process that provide laptops with better performance and improved battery life.

Core 2 Duo processors have an advanced power management state, which reduces a processor's power when not functional.

Intel announced the new chips at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, where 140,000 industry professionals are attending the world's biggest technology trade show.
