This is what I’m waiting for which delayed about a month!

Intel officially released its Centrino 2 mobile platform for notebooks July 14, which includes a number of new Core 2 Duo processors, a new chip set and wireless technology that includes support for 802.11 draft-n wireless technologies and WiMax.

The Intel Centrino 2 platform is Intel’s fifth mobile platform and the chip maker is offering two different platforms during this release. The first is Centrino 2 for consumers, and the second is Centrino 2 with vPro that is geared toward enterprise customers.

The launch of Centrino 2 was delayed by about a month after Intel reported some problems with the company’s own integrated graphics and issues related to applying to the Federal Communications Commission for use of the draft-n wireless standards.

Still, the launch is a major event for Intel and shows the importance of notebooks and mobility both with consumers and with the enterprise. Intel is also planning to counter some of the momentum Advanced Micro Devices had when it released its new mobile platform in June.

Mooley Eden, vice president and general manager of Intel’s Platforms Group, emphasized that mobile computing is no longer just about processor performance and battery life. It’s also about style which is transforming the way laptops are being designed and the way vendors are developing slimmer and smaller laptops. This new style is finding its way from the consumer market and into the enterprise with notebooks such as the Lenovo X300.
