Centrino 2: What's in the Intel sequel? To qualify as a Centrino laptop, machines need to have a particular type of CPU, motherboard chipset and Wi-Fi adaptor, all built to provide longer battery life and guarantee connectivity to hotspots. As of July 14, Intel will unveil a new collection of CPUs, chipsets and Wi-Fi adaptors--all built to make the Centrino sequel a must have. Centrino 2 will use the latest 45nm Intel Core 2 processors, codenamed Penryn. There's plenty of choice, too. Any chip with the model number Txxxx--currently the 2.8GHz T9600 and 2.53GHz T9400--will be aimed at performance enthusiasts. Any CPU with the part number Pxxxx belongs to the power-optimised performance range, so they'll be quick, but they'll give you longer battery life, save trees and prolong the life of our planet. The SPxxxx, SLxxxx, SUxxxx, and Uxxxx are part of the performance small form factor group, and will fit into slim and light machines such as the MacBook Air, Lenovo X300 and Toshiba R500. |

ssd, wimax, enhanced networking/handshaking with other periphery, higher memory handling..whoooa...intel for sure is taking strides to "future-proof" their product offerings in the market coupled with their push for the netbook-ing era, where AMD is sluggish.
