IDF 2007: 10 million Santa Rosa's shipped
Intel said that Santa Rosa platform
was the fastest accepted one so far. Intel claims that it sold 10
million platforms to the OEMs from the launch at June to this very
day.
It plans to refresh the platform with
the new Penryn CPU, but in the middle of 2008 it will introduce the
Montevina platform. This platform is based on Cantega chipset that
will offer better IGP and Wimax support at the same time. Intel will
support Display Port on this one and promises native HD DVD and
BluRay support.
It also should bring the notebook to
under 25W consumption which implicates that the battery life should
be better than the refreshed Santa Rosa.
