Definitions for "Tualatin"
Tualatin is Intel's "code name" for a type of processor core, so far used in certain models of PIIIs and Celerons. The Tualatin core is manufactured using .13 verses .18 micron technology. This technology has to do with the size of the chip -- a .13 micron chip is smaller, which results in several benfits such as reduced power consumption and manufacturing costs. Tualatin processors also often have a larger cache than their non-Tualatin counterparts. As of 2/27/02 the Tualatin is the newest model in the Pentium III and Celeron processor lines.
