As many of you might know, Intel’s current notebook platform is called “Centrino”, and combines a low-wattage processor and wireless ability with an efficient chipset. Intel has had very strong sales with Centrino, but now Intel is going to replace it with the all new mobile platform called “Santa Rosa” in the first half of 2007.The new platform will bring improvements in processing power, battery life and wireless connectivity over the current Centrino architecture. The Santa Rosa notebooks will start up and load applications twice as fast as the current Centrino laptops. For wireless connectivity, the new notebooks will use the 802.11n standard (five times fasters than the current 802.11g) and deliver embedded 3G wireless WAN technology from Nokia.
Once Intel starts to use 802.11n in its platform, the standard will become popular very soon. If you’re thinking about updating to or purchasing a new wireless router, you may want to consider one of the Wireless-N gears, such as the Linksys WRT300N Wireless-N Broadband Router.
