Intel Centrino 2 Platform Launches - New CPUs and Hybrid Graphics - TechAmok
Intel Centrino 2 Platform Launches - New CPUs and Hybrid Graphics - [hardware] 07:44 PM EDT - Jul,15 2008 - post a comment PC
Perspective posted an interesting article on the Intel Centrino 2 Platform.
Here's a bit:
Obviously the release of the Intel Centrino 2 platform is another big move
for a segment of the market that largely depends on Intel to keep the wheel
rolling. GPU, memory and ODM vendors all time their products around Intel's
mobile cycles so you can expect announcements from NVIDIA, AMD/ATI and of course
all the various notebook manufacturers throughout the coming weeks as Montevina
makes the rounds.
The new technologies in the Centrino 2 platform range from the mediocre to
incredibly exciting for the enthusiast user. An update to 1066 MHz front-side
bus speeds versus 533 MHz and 800 MHz FSBs is not getting my heart racing and
neither is the updated integrated Intel graphics solution; you'll notice there
were no gaming benchmarks on display from Intel during this launch. What is
exciting for us is the move to 802.11n wireless technologies - finally no
penalty for wireless PCs in your home or office! - and the switchable graphics
solutions. We have long wanted a 15" notebook that could play some games on our
longer business trips but still able to playback a movie or two while doing some
work on long flights across the country. If Intel and the GPU vendors can get
this technology working well it could finally be the answer!
