Their notebook manufacturing sources claim the 1.2GHz Core i7-640UM, 1.06GHz Core i7-620UM and 1.06GHz Core i5-520UM would be aimed at the high- to mid-range ultraportable markets and replace the current 1.6GHz Core 2 Duo SU9600. As Core i7 models, t... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/11/12/intel.ultraportable.chips.dated.in.2010/ Thu, 12 Nov 2009 17:45:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/05/13/montevina.notebook/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0905/peggycovesml.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Motherboard and computer manufacturer Gigabyte Technology has introduced an Intel-designed notebook that runs on the Montevina platform, according to DigiTimes. The first device in the series, codenamed Peggy's Cove, offers a 13.3-inch display, along with 3G, Wi-Fi and WiMAX connectivity. The notebooks are part of Intel's Blanca program which provides design support for second-tier OEMs that build... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/05/13/montevina.notebook/ Wed, 13 May 2009 20:15:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/04/21/intel.calpella.early.cpus/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0904/intelnehalem.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />A leak hints Intel's first use of its Nehalem architecture in a notebook processor, on the Calpella platform, may only include three processors all targeted at the high end of the market. Where most notebook processor launches often cover most of the range, DigiTimes hears the earliest chips will only be quad-core models (codenamed Clarksfield) and should include the Core 2 Quad P1, Core 2 Quad P... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/04/21/intel.calpella.early.cpus/ Tue, 21 Apr 2009 11:45:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/10/23/intel.mobile.updates.in.q2/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0810/intelcore2duo-s.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Intel will release a significant update to its current Montevina-era Core 2 mobile processors in the spring as a final push before the switch to Core i7 technology, according to a leaked roadmap. The chipmaker is expected to launch a 3.06GHz, regular power Core 2 Duo known as the T9900 and give users an alternative to the same-speed but more power hungry Core 2 Extreme; a 2.66GHz Core 2 Duo P8800... http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/10/23/intel.mobile.updates.in.q2/ Thu, 23 Oct 2008 12:30:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/04/28/imac.cpu.origins/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0804/intel45nmdie-2.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />The 3.06GHz processor and fellow chips in Apple's new iMacs are part of a special run of Intel's existing technology rather than an early introduction of Centrino 2 technology, Intel has confirmed with Electronista. Although the processors match the same core clock rates and 1,066MHz system bus speeds as those for the upcoming platform, the processors are now known to be unlisted speed grades tha... http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/04/28/imac.cpu.origins/ Mon, 28 Apr 2008 20:15:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/04/10/pioneer.first.centrino.2/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0804/pioneerdreambook9008.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Australian PC builder Pioneer on Thursday has inadvertently become the first to advertise a system based on Intel's Centrino 2 mobile platform. The DreamBook Style 9008 will be one of Pioneer's thin-and-light 15.4-inch notebooks and will achieve its goal in part by using an unnamed variant of the new "Montevina" era, P-series Core 2 Duo processors: the design will have the faster 1,066MHz system ... http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/04/10/pioneer.first.centrino.2/ Thu, 10 Apr 2008 14:50:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/04/02/intel.calpella.platform/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0804/calpella-idf.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Presenting at its Developer Forum in Shanghai, Intel has exposed some of the first details of "Calpella," its next-generation notebook platform. A successor to the company's still-unreleased Centrino 2 platform, Calpella systems are only expected to arrive in the third quarter of 2009, but should bring significant enhancements. Among these is the use of Intel's upcoming Nehalem processor archite... http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/04/02/intel.calpella.platform/ Wed, 02 Apr 2008 16:55:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/03/19/intel.wimax.80211n.plans/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0802/intel45nmdie-2.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Intel has announced more details on its plans for wireless in Centrino 2 systems, a Taiwanese publication reports. The centerpiece option is its "Echo Peak" module, which combines 802.11n Wi-Fi with support for WiMAX, the company's cellular-like standard that has greater range. This will however come at a significant cost to end users, as Intel is charging OEMs themselves $43 to $54, depending o... http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/03/19/intel.wimax.80211n.plans/ Wed, 19 Mar 2008 19:40:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/03/11/intel.centrino.2.june.line/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0803/intel45nmdie.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Despite Intel's aggressive plans to roll out its Centrino 2 mobile platform in June, the company is now set to push back processors suitable for the MacBook Air and for gaming notebooks by as much as three months, a leaked roadmap shows. Contrary to some early expectations, the June release will only focus on processors for the most common notebooks. Two high-performance Core 2 Duo chips at 2.53... http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/03/11/intel.centrino.2.june.line/ Tue, 11 Mar 2008 18:00:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/03/05/intel.announces.centrino.2/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0802/intel45nmdie-2.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Although long expected, Intel has confirmed that its new notebook platform, codenamed Montevina, is officially being christened as Centrino 2. Systems built under the specification will use 45nm Penryn processors, with clock speeds up to 2.8GHz and normal thermal design power ratings between 25 and 35W. Some processors, though, will use a special compact design like that in the MacBook Air, prod... http://www.macnn.com/articles/08/03/05/intel.announces.centrino.2/ Wed, 05 Mar 2008 20:00:00 GMT
