Intel - Santa Rosa - Desktop Platform Detailed

Intel has been pushing forward in a very strong way with platforms, ever since Centrino was introduced. A collection of different technologies brought together for some designed purpose was much more interesting to Intel from a marketing standpoint than just selling processors. Earlier this year at IDF, Intel talked briefly about its next-generation desktop and mobile platform codenamed Santa Rosa. The new platform, which is slated to succeed the current Napa platform, is due out in March of 2007, but now we have some more concrete details about just what sets Santa Rosa apart and just what we can expect Intel to deliver when launch date approaches.
