In its on going Intel Developer forum, Intel said it will launch “Santa Rosa Refresh,” in January 2008 an Update to its Centrino platform that includes the next generation 45nm Penryn processor and improved graphics capabilities. Intel also showed next generation Montevina processor technology, which will be released in mid 2008. The platform will have DDR3, WIMAX and integrated HD-DVD/Blu-ray support. The components will be 40% smaller and will be ideal for use in wide spectrum of notebook designs from sub 4-pound to full sized notebook. Intel is working with Cisco on interoperability testing of 802.11n draft 2.0 to ensure reliable performance and compatibility between Intel Centrino-based notebooks and Cisco wireless networks. Intel provided a glimpse of the entertainment power of the upcoming Penryn based Intel Centrino systems with video rendering and encoding. Intel’s Menlow platform, scheduled for launched in first half of 2008 will deliver great performance at low power and could fit in a 74mm X 143mm sized motherboard, thus enabling form factors that are small enough to fit in your pocket and powerful enough for Mobile Internet Devices (MID). Intel’s Moorestown Platform will consist of a System on Chip (SOC) and Communications Hub. The SOC integrates the CPU, graphics, video and memory controller to a single chip. The architecture allows for ultra low power operation in Mobile Internet Devices (MID). The idle power for a Moorestown based MID platform will be 10X lower compared to a Menlow based platform.
