Sonoma Chipset

The new Sonoma Platform, Intel’s next-generation Centrino Chipset is already on the market. Members of the Sonoma club are growing daily - Sony, IBM/Lenovo, BenQ, Dell, Samsung, Acer, and Toshiba... another 80 or 90 ‘Sonoma-endowed’ products will be released very shortly.

No doubt, it will become the Platform standard for many high-end notebooks. Actually, it won’t make or mean that much difference to the ordinary Joe/Jane who just want a notebook or laptop for web surfing, word processing and e-mail. Notebooks with the Sonoma Platform will be just a little bit faster and have a little better battery life.

But for Mobile Professionals and Notebook Fanatics (they do exist)... there’s a lot of good things delivered or capable of being delivered with this new Centrino Chipset. First, wireless connections will be easier with the integrated tri-mode 802.11a/b/g, already dubbed by some as the ‘wireless trinity’! This will make it easier to stay connected no matter where you are.

Improved performance will be experienced because the new Pentium M’s have a 533MHz frontside bus, supported with up to 2GB of DDR2 DRAM, Serial ATA Hard Drive, and PCI Express, plus improved integrated graphics - including Intel’s Hi-Def Audio. All are possible with the Sonoma Platform.
