the centrino 2 platform, from what i understand, will actually still use core 2 duo chips. the centrino 2 deals with the whole chipset, ie motherboard, integrated graphics, wifi, etc. so they will still use the newest core 2 duo processors (Penryn) until new processors come out (which are the nehalem) and are put in the centrino 2 platform. anyone feel free to correct any misinformation.
yeah your right about the CPU's, Also, the Montevina platform will see FSB speeds up to 1066 MT/s :D and support for DD3 :D:D not to mention newer and better integrated graphics
Montevenia is to Santa Rosa like Penryn is to Merom (Conroe was the desktop core, which is confusing because everyone referred to the first gen C2's by that name, but the 2nd gen gets referred to by the mobile CPU's name...Wolfdale is the desktop name in case you are curious.)
Now that we've thrown 'em off the trail, use the form below to get in touch with the people at Engadget. Please fill in all of the required fields because they're required.
Is this new Montevina/Centrino 2 supposed to be better than Core 2 Duo? And Core 2 Quad too? Or is it aimed at lower markets?

Ahhh, so it's a platform, not a chip itself.. Wikipedia's got tons of info on it..
