Today at the Intel Developer Forum, the company announced that the next generation of mobile processor chipset, known as "Santa Rosa," will feature an integrated HSDPA radio from Nokia. (Oh, and it should bump the FSB to 800MHz and drop power consumption, as usual.) This follows a trend that we've been seeing over the last year with various laptops frontin' 3G access so you can get your speedy internet on wherever life may find you, be it Northern California or elsewhere -- though we've not necessarily seen it so deeply embedded. In other news expected to materialize in 2007, Intel says it will also offer a new ultra-mobile chip based on the Core 2 Duo design but with half the power draw and one-fourth the physical size. No word on if that HSDPA and low-power stuff will make it into that sexy sketch of a sports car we saw earlier, though.
oooooo
aaaahhhhhh
me want
me also want amd to come back into the fray
not every day you log onto the internet and find a cpu named after your home town.
Sigh!!
I don't think I'll ever get to see a chip named Leicester (pronounced lester).
Sigh!!
What about us who support the CDMA bandwagon? No EVDO Rev. A love?
That sounds awesome! Does it pick up FM stations too?
Well, got a MacBook Pro with a big phat 160 gb hard drive in it. That's some killer action, and I'll do fine until Sanra Rosa rolls around. Hopefully by May 2007, that would be nice.
Yea, no new computer for me until I have one of these on the motherboard.
I am growing impatient.
Santa Rosa is a chipset, not a processor. You'd think just common sense would give you and idea something's not right. Cell radio in a cpu, sheesh!
