In a move that is likely to remind AMD and their Puma platform who is the best in laptop processor war, Intel unveiled their Centrino 2 Processor Technology products for laptops powered by five new Core 2 Duo processors. The new processors support both WiFiN and WiMax wireless capability. The new processors come with a faster 1066MHz front side bus and up to 6MB of L2 cache, and three versions reduce laptop processor wattage about 30 percent, down to just 25 watts. Another exciting feature is the Deep Power Down Technology that turns off processing components such as core clocks and cache memory when the laptop is idle for greater energy savings.
