In this paper, we provide an overview of the second-generation Intel®
Centrino® mobile technology
platform. This represents a major revision of several new I/O and memory
interfaces: Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) Express*
(PCIe), Serial Advanced Technology Attachment (SATA), Intel® High
Definition Audio (Intel® HD Audio), and Double Data Rate (DDR2), which all
enable a range of computing and media capabilities. The second-generation
Pentium® M processor, the i915 Graphics and Memory Controller Hub (GMCH),
the 82801FM I/O Controller Hub (ICH)
and the Intel® PRO/Wireless 2915 Network Interface Controller (NIC) with
higher performance, new capabilities and interfaces enable exciting new usages:
Mobile Digital Office, Mobile On-the-Go, and Mobile Entertainment. Intel has
demonstrated these usages through innovative concepts based on the Intel®
Centrino® mobile technology platform and is actively enabling our Original
Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) and Original Design Manufacturers (ODMs) to
bring these to market. Intel has driven power reductions on both the platform
and its silicon while still delivering new features and capabilities.
