The new chips, code-named Sonoma, are expected to enable more consumer-friendly systems that better support video, audio and games. When Centrino was first launched, it was targeted primarily at business users.
“We are trying to take what we started with Centrino and continue to evolve it,” said Mooly Eden, vice president of Intel’s Mobile Platforms Group.
Centrino consists of a microprocessor, chipset and wireless radio — all of which were built to maximize notebook performance while minimizing electricity requirements and overall system size. Its 2003 launch turned out to be one of the most successful in Intel’s history.
