        Single-board computer vendor Lippert announced mini-ITX form-factor board support for Intel's new Dothan processor, a 90nm die-shrink of the Pentium M released today by Intel. The Dothan chip includes 170 million transistors, compared with 77 million on the previous Pentium M, making lots more room for on-chip memory caches,...


        according to Lippert.

        Intel's Dothan chips are smaller than previous Pentium M chips, offer up to 17% faster performance, and dissipate 3.5 watts less. Additionally, the Dothan supports front-side memory bus speeds of 400MHz and 533MHz.

        Lippert's Centrino-like Thunderbird was the first mini-ITX motherboard available with Intel's Pentium M processor. It includes Mini-PCI and LVDS interfaces, and is available in a passively cooled model.

        The Thunderbird will support the 735, 745, and 755 Dothan processors, according to Lippert.
