INTEL STRIVES TO APPLY GREEN TECHNOLOGY IN OPERATIONS

KUALA LUMPUR, June 19 (Bernama) -- Intel Corp, the world's largest computer
chipmaker, is embarking aggressively on green technology to create a sustainable
operation while reducing the environmental impact.

Its eco-technology general manager Lorie Wigle, who are here to share the
company's insight on green technology with Malaysian government officials, said
Intel was striving to apply green philosophy via its products and solutions.

For example, Intel's Core microprocessors have contributed collective
savings of 20 terawatt hours of energy, she said.

The company's latest 45 nanometer high-K metal gate process technology could
reduce electrical current leakage, resulting in increases of processor
efficiency, she told reporters here Friday.

According to Wigle, Intel is now estimated to be the largest purchaser of
renewable energy in the United States, with about 1.3 billion kilowatt hours a
year of renewable energy.

Thus, Intel is seriously working on sharing its expertise in the area of
environmental technology with governments, where most of them have shown
interest to implement the technology, she said.

Wigle also said that she had met representatives from Tenaga Nasional Bhd,
Multimedia University and Multimedia Development Corp yesterday to discuss
sharing resources.

"It just informal talks but it is interesting to know that there are pockets
of activities in this country looking to bring in the technology," she said.
