Intel releases Sonoma Notebook Chipset

[W1zzard]

Intel released the successor to the Centrino chipset. It is called Sonoma and is based on the i915 desktop chipset with features like:

• Intel Graphics Media Processor 900
• 533FSB with DDR2 (up to 2GB), and PCI-E support
• High Definition Audio
• SATA
• Intel WiFi Support
• Power Optimized FSB

Intel has kept the brand "Centrino" - Notebooks running 533 Mhz FSB use Sonoma, 400 FSB means the "old" Centrino.

Also new is support for DDR2 and PCI-Express.
