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!
