US computer chip giant Intel grandly unveiled its new family of speedy, power-sipping processors on Thursday, touting them as a "revolutionary leap" for the industry.

Intel's 10 new types of Core 2 Duo and Core 2 Extreme computer chips were shown boosting the performances of laptop, desktop and corporate computers in tasks ranging from video games to business applications.

Millions of the dual-core chips were being pumped out at Intel's facilities worldwide and were in the shipping channel, said company chief executive officer Paul Otellini.

Delivery of chips for business servers began in June and those for personal computers would be in customers hands by mid August, Otellini said during the unveiling event at Intel's headquarters in Santa Clara, California.

"This is a revolutionary leap; the kind that doesn't come often," Otellini told the approximately 500 people packed under a tented pavillion at the Intel campus. "This is the best processor we ever designed and ever built."
