Centrino is dead — it's official. But don't worry. On 14 July, Intel will launch Centrino 2 — codenamed "Montevina" — to stave off competition from AMD, and to cement its place as the world's number one choice for laptops.
But before we go any further, we can't help but wonder — what's with the name? Until now, all the updates to the original Centrino brand weren't deemed worthy of a new public-facing name. Instead, they were given internal codenames: "Carmel" (2003), "Sonoma" (2005), "Napa" (2006) and "Santa Rosa", all of which were different, but still sold to the public as merely Centrino.
So is Centrino 2 truly different? What's it packing? What'll it do for you? Voyage with us, geeks, as we break down the tech behind 2008's hottest laptops.
