Notebooks Go Wireless
This is the second global tendency in the today’s mobile market. Wireless technology is picking up real quick:
Here Intel first of all mentioned the new platform that would bring ultimate wireless performance to the mobile segment.
It is the Napa platform due in 2006. It will be based o Intel’s first dual-core mobile Yonah CPU with mobile optimized micro-architecture including Intel Dynamic Power Coordination feature and Intel Advanced Thermal Manager. This platform will also feature very exciting next generation graphics aka Calistoga and new Wi-Fi LAN 802.11abg solution aka Golan.

This platform will support new SSE instructions and will definitely offer notably improved performance, much better thermal management and much better thermal environment around components. From the network point of view it will also suggest better ways to balance the traffic. Also, it will offer longer battery life and more optimal usage algorithms. Napa platform is a premium digital office solution. It enables virtualization technologies that have been discussed earlier. Intel’s leadership in this field implies driving the rest of the platform to meet new industry standards. Such as power panels, battery capacity, lower power of SATA drives with Intel Active Matrix Storage technology.
In the digital office environment we have Zephyros system concept as an example. It provides full wireless connectivity, easy synchronization with other wireless devices, high performance, up to the mark video and audio quality. It is designed in super slim form-factor, features media access, dual core CPU, and Intel’s data and network security technologies.
