scuzzman Posted January 11, 2005 Report Share Posted January 11, 2005 Intel plans to launch the second generation of its Centrino mobile processor platform at a January 19 event in San Francisco, the Santa Clara, California, company confirmed today. The new platform, code-named Sonoma, will include a new version of Intel's Pentium M mobile processor, a new wireless chip, and a new chip set, which Intel says will have double the graphics performance of its current products.Approximately 80 new notebook PCs based on the platform will begin shipping around the time of the launch, including products from Dell, Hewlett-Packard, IBM, and Toshiba, Intel says. The total number of Sonoma systems is expected to grow to about 150 by year's end, the company says.Original story here.Might this be a rebuttal to AMD?
