(InfoWorld) - Intel will update its Centrino laptop package in January with a new processor and better graphics. The update, called Santa Rosa Refresh, will replace Centrino's current processors with chips made using aÂ 45-nanometer production processÂ -- part of Intel'sÂ Penryn chip familyÂ -- instead of the 65-nm process now in use. The number refers to the average feature size that can be created on a chip and smaller is generally better. The planned release of Santa Rosa Refresh is set to be announced Wednesday by Dadi Perlmutter, senior vice president and general manager of Intel's Mobility Group, during a scheduled speech at the Intel Developer Forum in San Francisco. Moving to a more advanced manufacturing process typically results in faster chips that consume less power. It also allows chip makers to reduce the size of the chip, either cutting unit production costs since more chips can be made on a silicon wafer or allowing new capabilities, such as a larger memory cache, to be added to the chip. The Santa Rosa Refresh will also include the 965 Express chipset and support for Microsoft's Direct X10 technology. This updated version of Centrino will itself be replaced in the middle of 2008 with a new version, called Montevina. This version of Centrino will also use a 45-nm processor but includes a new chipset that offers support for faster DDR3 (double data rate 3) memory. Montevina will also WiMax as an option in addition to Centrino's customary Wi-Fi support.

(InfoWorld) - Intel has been beating out a steady rhythm of big product announcements in recent months. And last week that beat went on: The company shipped Merom, the mobile entry in Intelâs 64-bit Core 2 Duo processor line. The announcement, following on the heels of the delivery in May of AMDâs dual-core Turion 64-bit notebook CPUs, shows Intel coming on hard and fast to regain some of the market share it has lost. Still, with so many products flowing out of the pipeline at the same time, Intel will have to be careful not to cannibalize its own efforts. Merom is a mobile entry in Intelâs 64-bit Core 2 Duo processor line, as well as Intelâs answer to the Turion CPUs. Intelâs new Core 2 Duo T7200, T7400, and T7600 notebook CPUs clock in at 2GHz, 2.16GHz, and 2.33GHz, respectively, with 4GB of shared cache and the same Intel 945 Express family chip sets as the 32-bit Core Solo and Core Duos that preceded them. Consumers will most likely see Merom sold as Centrino Duo, an adaptation of the long-running and megapopular Intel brand that bundles CPU, chip set, graphics, and wireless networking controller. And thatâs where the problem lies. Centrino has been a home run for Intel in the notebook space, but the decision to throw the Centrino brand onto yet another product line is bound to have consumers and salespeople scratching their heads as they try to grasp the differences between no fewer than three different âCentrinosâ on the market. For example, Core Duo has been a surprise hit among Intel notebook OEMs, perhaps because Apple has done so well with its Core Duo MacBook Pro line. That puts Intel in the position of having two dual-core notebook CPUs that use the same chip set, with very similar claims with regard to power efficiency and performance. That could leave consumers to choose between two flavors of Intel dual-core notebooks: Centrino Duo and Merom Centrino Duo. Centrino Duo, a 64-bit technology in a market where 32-bit software predominates, might slow adoption of the Merom Centrino Duo platform. Uptake may be even slower if Core Duo notebooks are less expensive than those built with Merom.
