Santa Rosa notebook
PIONEER Computers Australia has released a
notebook in its DreamBook slim series that runs on Intel’s Santa Rosa platform.
Santa Rosa refers to the fourth-generation Centrino platform, featuring second generation Intel Core 2 processor (800 MHz) that uses Socket P and 800 MT/s front side bus with dynamic front side bus switching to save power during low utilisation.
It is based on Intel mobile 965 express chipset (code named Crestline) with Intel's GMA X3000 graphics technology, Intel PRO/wireless 4965AGN IEEE 802.11 a/b/g/n mini-PCIe Wi-Fi adapter (code named Kedron), NAND flash-memory caching branded as turbo memory (code-named Robson), EFI - a successor to BIOS and Intel Dynamic Acceleration (IDA) which provides better Windows vista aero support.
The Santa Rosa platform will be branded as Centrino Pro when combined with the enhanced security technologies Intel introduced with vPro and will be called Centrino Duo when they are not used.
Powered by Intel core 2 duo processor 667/800Mhz, Santa Rosa, the DreamBook slim 825 2I/D comes with 15.4 inch wide TFT screen and up to 128M Intel VGA, or Nvidia Geforce Go 7600 256M GDDR2 PCIe.
