IT News & Technology update

It’s about the new Intel's notebook platform, originally announced for the start of Computex show was delayed for several reasons today. However, we will only see a platform for discrete GPUs, and one with integrated graphics and mobile WiMAX is expected next week. Intel says that the new processor will be used many of the major laptop vendors such as HP, Sony, Toshiba and others.

The new platform Montevina says it is 45nm Penryn processor, along with Intel mobile 4 Express chipset, Intel GMA X4500 integrated graphics chip and wireless WiFi module and the support of WiMax. However, while the front of 1066MHz bus Penryn-based processors 35 watt power required to run, three of the new models will be used only 25 watts, and will also have DDR-3 memory function for fast and efficient access to power memory.

Let us look more closely at the platform. First, we have an Intel Mobile Express chipset 4 series, were known as Cantiga (including GL40, GS45, GM45, GM47 or PM45), along with Intel GMA X4500 graphics technology and ICH9M southbridge and offering a front side bus of 1066MHz . Graphics core states to GM45/47, which became the main clock of 533/640MHz, including single and ten shaders, two more than had GMA X3100.

In chipset will come with support for DDR2-667, DDR2-800, DDR3-800, DDR3-1066 and DDR3-1333 SO-DIMM memory modules. It will also contain code-named Boazman Gigabit Ethernet LAN controller 82567LM and 82567LF and NAND flash-memory caching for branded Intel Turbo memory. DisplayPort will have the full support and the motherboard will feature an external connector and support for HDMI, DVI and VGA standards.

Second-generation Intel Core 2 Duo 45nm processors will have basic speeds ranging from 2.26GHz to 3.06GHz and will come with support for SSE4.1, added 47 new instructions for SSSE3.

In Montevina chip is the fifth generation of Centrino, and the first of the series to come up with integrated support for WiMAX. In the lid contains three antennas, which enable connectivity through both WiFi (802.11n) and mobile WiMAX (802.16e). In the Montevina platform allows for three types of connections, including echo peak adapter, and WiFi / WiMAX Link 5150/5350 mini-PCIe, of Shiloh, an Intel WiFi Link 5100/5300 mini-PCIe adapter, and Dana Point, code-named A card WiMAX (802,16).

On top of these, if combined with the built-in technology for security and manageability features of Montevina platform goes under the name "Centrino 2 vPro".
