Inside Intel's Santa Rosa platform


Improvements to the processor, chipset and wireless components of Intel's latest mobile platform should result in a new generation of faster notebooks with longer battery life. Business systems will also get Intel's Active Management Technology (AMT) for the first time, while Turbo Memory should reduce the frequency of hard disk accesses, saving power and boosting performance.

At the heart of Intel's new mobile platform is the processor, chipset and wireless combination codenamed Santa Rosa. Business notebooks built on the Santa Rosa platform will be branded Centrino Pro, while consumer systems will carry the existing Centrino Duo branding. Intel has upgraded all three platform elements, in its continuing efforts to increase notebook performance while reducing power consumption. However, not all of the components are very different to their previous versions.
