Intel’sCentrino 2notebook platformofficially launched yesterday , and brought an armada of unexampled laptop with it . Centrino ( 2 ) is actually just a brand name for a fluid platform , which is really a fancy way saying a compounding of Intel constituent : a processor , chipset and wireless module . The previous and bully is Montevina , which is not only energy efficient , but more powerful than theprevious lot , Santa Rosa . It also makes wireless N standard , puts WiMax in its future , and has graphics that can change over between incorporated and discrete for battery / public presentation pauperism . In short , this year ’s craw of notebooks will bollocks up last year ’s away .

Here ’s some more in - deepness commodity on what Montevina offer . The mainframe soul is the 45 micromillimetre Penryn - while last twelvemonth it mainlyoffered a battery boost , thanks to Montevina ’s faster 1066 front - side motorbus , you ’ll see some real performance gains this time around . ( Intel enounce up to 50 percentage ) . In that same mineral vein , not only are Intel’sintegrated graphics fasterwith the new GMA 4500MHD , it ’ll have you flip between integrated and discrete graphics ( like a lineup from ATI or Nvidia ) on the fly , so you’re able to pick performance when you require it and save juice when you do n’t . Sony and Lenovo are the first to have notebook with this tech . On the wireless front , it make wireless N touchstone with its new WiFi Link 5000 modules . WiMax is optional , and you ’ll see that inCentrino 2notebooks afterwards this year . Finally , it ( and Penryn ) are totally engineered to simply sip power , like an anorexic model with a venti skimming half - decaf no - whip mocha ( really , check out Lenovo ’s X200’sretardedly awesome barrage fire life sentence ) .

BTW , to keep the naming deal straight ( damn you , Intel ) , Montevina is the codename for Intel ’s raw mobile platform , which will be market asCentrino 2 . It ’s likely that the next roving platform , Calpella , due next class , will also be known asCentrino 2to your ma , if she ’s sorta tech savvy , so the codenames are still necessary for differentiation ( there were actually four different chipsets to carry the Centrino brand ) . The original Centrino and the accompanying Pentium M central processor was in reality a paradigm transmutation in Intel ’s approaching to notebooks , and eventually inform all of their processor innovation - vigor efficiency as the order of the day . ( Or as my friend sound out , “ It was Intel go , ‘ oh shit ’ and throwing outNetBurstand run back to theold P6 essence plan . ” )
That ’s Centrino , in a nutshell . Bottom line , it ’s gon na be the best class ever to grease one’s palms a notebook computer .
