Future Intel mobile processor directions

At the IDF, Intel talked about the next generation of mobile processor
technologies that it's going to bring out, including updates to its Centrino
platform. It's bring out a low-power chipset for notebooks (P4-based, I
assume) called the 855GME. The next generation of Pentium-M is codenamed
Dothan, and it should feature a 2MB cache. After that, the whole Centrino
platform will get a facelift in the form of a chipset codenamed Sonoma.

I think Sonoma *is* the platform - the chipset is apparently Alviso... if
anything can be deduced from this article at all.

"Obscure" is not the word here. Why does some hack at Reuters decide to
regurgitate Intel press releases when he must know he doesn't know enough
to avoid mangling it?

No wonder consumers are confused by terms like Centrino - here we have talk
of a "wireless chip [.... with] 2MB of cache".gawp
