(InfoWorld) - Intel's "Santa Rosa" notebook platform will hit the streets in the first half of 2007, bringing improvements in processing power, battery life and wireless connectivity over the current Centrino architecture. Intel has enjoyed strong sales with Centrino, which combines a low-wattage processor and wireless ability with an efficient chipset. Now the company will upgrade those ingredients to a more efficient version of the "Merom" Core 2 Duo chip and "Crestline" ICH8M chipset, together code-named Santa Rosa. The company will also make the Santa Rosa notebooks start up faster by augmenting current memory technology with a NAND flash-based disk cache, said Dadi Perlmutter, senior vice president and general manager of Intel's mobility group, at Intel Developer Forum on Wednesday. Compared with a Centrino PC, that "Robson" technology will allow future notebooks to load applications twice as fast and wake up from a hibernation state twice as fast. For wireless connectivity, the new notebooks will use the pending 802.11n standard, capable of streaming data at 300M bits per second (bps), five times faster than the current 802.11g, Perlmutter said Wednesday. In a demonstration, he played high-definition segments of a film called "Spoon" on a Santa Rosa platform running Microsoft Corp.'s Vista OS. That level of broadband connectivity will also allow Intel to extend its new vPro business bundle to notebooks, after having launched it for desktops on Sept. 7. "But the jewel of the crown for wireless connectivity is WiMax," Perlmutter said. Intel plans to deliver an integrated Wi-Fi and WiMax chip by 2008. WiMax is a metropolitan-area wireless technology designed to deliver at least 1M bps of data and in some cases much more. The company's WiMax plan will be supported by a commitment from service providers Sprint Corp. and Clearwire Corp. to start building mobile WiMax networks in 2007 and provide commercial service by 2008. Intel also said it would extend WiMax support to future reference designs for the handheld Ultramobile PC (UMPC) platform, including a 2.5-pound version for students up to university age. Intel also expects vendors to begin selling a low-cost "Classmate" notebook in developing nations in the first quarter of 2007, according to spokesman Larry Carr.

(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.

To support users until 802.11n is officially approved, Intel has arranged an interoperability program with access point vendors including Buffalo Wireless, D-Link Systems, Cisco Systems' Linksys division, and Netgear. Intel will also deliver embedded 3G (third-generation) wireless WAN technology from Nokia, Perlmutter said. In a demonstration, he played high-definition segments of a film called "Spoon" on a Santa Rosa platform running Microsoft's Vista OS.

Intel displayed a sample UMPC currently sold by Asus in Taiwan and said its partners would launch a U.S. version in the first half of 2007 with an upgraded CPU and chip set. Intel also expects vendors to begin selling a low-cost "Classmate" notebook in developing nations in the first quarter of 2007, according to spokesman Larry Carr. Intel's reference design brings the price below $400 by using a small Windows XP Embedded OS and flash memory instead of a hard drive, he said. The product will sell first in Mexico, Brazil, India, and Nigeria.ADVERTISEMENTMAKE SOA REAL WITH IBM WEBSPHERE PODCASTStreamline processes and maximize efficiency within a proven service oriented architecture.
