What exactly is centrino?


Ive heard so much hype about it, but have heard no facts about it. All i know is it is for laptops and it claims to increase connectivity (wirelessly?).

Any links would be appreciated

Centrino is wireless network laptops that have large battery life by adjusting the power consumption depending on when apps/etc are running or not. Apparently up to 7 hours battery time:-

Basically a low voltage Mobile P-4.....can you say marketing. Got to create some pizzazz to sell the same old workhorse with a new bridle.

It's not a mobile P4..., the proccessor (Banias) was designed specificly as a mobile proccessor, uses less power than a mobile P4, while still being able to perform well, and has wireless connectivity.
