In the first half of next year, Santa Rosa platform will be refreshed with the 45nm Hi-k Intel dual core mobile processor, code-named “Penryn”. Later in 2008 Intel will deliver “Montevina” processor technology, the successor of Santa Rosa, also with the 45nm Hi-k Intel dual core mobile processor, the Corporation’s representatives unveiled today at Intel Developer Forum in Beijing.
With approximately 40 percent smaller components, Montevina will be ideal for mini- and sub-notebooks, and will include integrated hardware decode for high-definition video, according to Intel’s representatives.
“Montevina” will be Intel’s first Centrino processor technology for notebooks to offer the option of integrated Wi-Fi and WiMAX wireless technologies. The slides from IDF also show this platform will have new “Cantiga†chipset, as well as “Robson 2.0†– the next version of disc-caching technology for faster system boot-up and application loading.
Regarding UMPC and MID devices, Intel will pull in its next-generation ultra-mobile platform – codenamed “Menlow” – from late 2008 to the first half of 2008.
“Menlow will include a new processor, codenamed “Silverthorne”, based on a new 45nm Hi-k low power microarchitecture. The platform also includes the next-generation chipset, codenamed “Poulsbo,” providing a single-chip solution. Silverthorne and Poulsbo were both designed from the ground up for MID and UMPC platforms,†Corporation announced.
