PCMag got a preview of the keynote.
New CPU – A100 and A110. 600Mhz and 800Mhz parts.
Update: Intel have posted details. I have posted a summary of the McCaslin platform here.
Aigo, Asus, Haier, HTC, and Samsung are the 5 new ultra mobile PC manufacturers that will have devices on this platform (now called Ultra Mobile Platform 2007.) Its a huge surprise to me that HTC will produce a device with Intel inside. Could it be the Shift? Engadget had reported that it was running on VIA. Could be wrong.
Chandrasekher added that systems using the Intel Mobile platform—based on the Intel A100 and A110 processor, the Intel 945GU Express Chipset, and the Intel ICH7U I/O Controller Hub—will be available from the latter companies starting this summer.
Intel will also form the Mobile Internet Device Innovation Alliance. This is good news because as we’ve discussed before, its not just about a processor or a screen. Its about bringing the most efficient parts together with the best designs and optimized software.
In PCMags news, Menlow is reported to be the name for the next gen (2008, 45nm) platform which will use a processor called Silverthorne and a chipset called Poulsbo.
