Intel Launches the Centrino 2 Mobile Platform this 14th

Intel launches the Centrino 2 mobile plaform this Monday, the 14th. Centrino 2, codenamed Montevina is behind launch-schedule owing to issues detected in the integrated graphics controller. The chipset released will be that which supports discrete graphics controllers from ATI or NVIDIA.

Intel Centrino 2 for now is targeted towards the business-class and enterprise segments. The chipset supports DDR3 memory which brings in a certain level of energy efficiency with added performance. At the heart of it would be a 45nm processor based on the Penryn architecture. Initially dual-core processors, with quad-core based notebooks later. The wireless network controller supports the newer 802.11n and WiMAX standards. Security and management features come in through the vPro technology.

These 45nm dual-core processors are said to run at 25W, an efficiency increment over previous generation running at 35W.

When can we see this in notebooks, and how much extra would it cost?
Also, which grahpics system will it be using; X3500 or X4500?

We should have quaddys now how long they had the duelies for sounds pretty promising tho.

Lets just hope they manage to keep the battery above 3 hours with the new tech.

Yeah i know. My 2 year old Acer with with a T7200 and a x1600 has a better battery life than some laptops out on the market right now. I can manage a ~3:20 the most from this lappy and it is more than enough for me.

I dont no what the life is for the battery in my lappy as i normally always have it plugged into the mains should do that someday though.
