Rumor: Montevina becomes Centrino 2
Intel sure has gotten a lot of mileage out of the "Centrino" name over the course of four revisions. While that may have helped the company breed familiarity with the brand, it probably didn't do much to alert layfolk to major updates to the mobile platform. With the most recent iteration, however, the Penryn-based, WiMAX-sporting "Montevina" chipset, Intel is making a break from years of branding, dubbing Montevina "Centrino 2" in official Intel nomenclature, according to a report from Digitimes. Furthermore, the platform is said to be scheduled for an unveiling at Computex Taipei 2008, which falls roughly in line with the previous rumors we've heard. If you're planning on buying new laptops this year, you might want to wait until the middle of the year, as Montevina looks to represent one of the most significant updates to Intel's mobile architecture in years.
