Montevina chips are manufactured using high-k metal gate technology on a 45nm die, and <a href="http://www.pcworld.com/businesscenter/article/148411/pc_makers_roll_out_centrino_2_laptops.html?tk=rl_noinform">Intel promises</a> faster performance, improved mobility features, and support for high-definition graphics on the Centrino 2 platform.</p><p>Centrino 2 chips include Intel's second generation Core 2 Duo processors (Penryn) with speeds expected to range from 2.26GHz to 3.06GHz on a 1066MHz frontside bus. <a href="http://tech.yahoo.com/blogs/null/99258">Sipping just 29W</a>, the low power draw should result in both a cooler running chip and longer battery life.</p><p>The new platform moves away from the GM965 chipset and now uses Intel's Mobile 45 Express chipset. Other goodies include integrated GMA X4500 graphics, Intel's 5000 series wireless chip with support for WiFi and WiMax, flash memory caching (Intel Turbo Memory), and support for <a href="/article/news/ocz_readies_ddr3_notebook_modules_preparation_centrino_2_platform">DDR3 memory</a>, the first mobile platform ever to do so. </p><p>The release of Centrino 2 might also spark tantalizing price cuts as vendors look to clear out old inventory.
