The battery in a notebook using one of Broadcom's new wireless chips will last 20 minutes longer than a battery in a Centrino notebook, according to Broadcom. Irvine, Calif.-based Broadcom compared its new 802.11a and combination 802.11a/802.11g chip sets to Intel's Centrino package of the Pentium M processor, a mobile chip set and the Intel Pro/Wireless 2100 chip. By using a new multiphase signal-processing technique, the chip sets consume 20% less power during transmit mode than Intel Corp.'s Pro/Wireless chip for 802.11b networks and 95% less power in idle mode, Sunnyvale, Calif.-based Atheros claimed. The Atheros chip sets come in two versions: one that supports 802.11b and 802.11g networks, and one that supports those two standards as well as 802.11a networks.
