Riding Economic slowdown, Intel will release the chips this Monday.   "The gap between the notebook and the desktop has really opened up recently, and Intel has to close that gap," said Stacy Wu, an analyst at Mobile Insights, a Mountain View, Calif.-based industry research firm.

  "I think this is one of [Intel's] strategies to keep the trend in moving from desktop to mobile computing on schedule. Intel has to go forward; the economy can't stop that," Wu said.

  With the release of the 1GHz processor, Dell, Hewlett-Packard, WinBook, and Toshiba on Monday will each introduce mobile systems powered by the Intel chip. IBM and Compaq are expected to follow, Wu believes.

  Along with the release of the 1GHz PIII Mobile processor, Intel will also introduce a 900 MHz version.
