Sandy
Bridge to get fast network
Intel’s
next generation platform scheduled for Q1 2011 is going offer a few novelties on the WiMAX
side. The Huron River platform is supposed to replace Calpella and it will pack Sandy Bridge 32nm monolithic CPU and graphics, all on one unified core.
When it
comes to the network part they will continue pushing Intel's Centrino Advanced
N + WiMAX 6250 adapter, codenamed Kilmer Peak. Intel has started using Kilmer
Peak 2×2 AGN adapters in its top of the Calpella high end notebook list.
Intel also
plans to introduce a few new Centrino adapters with WiFI + Blutooth support but
this is aimed for some other market segments.
We are not
sure how successful WiMAX might be in 2011, but we can only hope it will do well.
