Intel to launch “Averill” dual-core platform

Sidney · 16th February 2006, 18:35

Following Intel’s launch of its “Viiv” consumer-PC platform, the chip giant plans to introduce the Averill platform for business-use desktop PCs in the third quarter of 2006, sources in the Taiwan PC industry indicated. The Viiv and Averill platforms will help stimulate desktop-PC demand and slow down the trend towards replacing desktop PCs with notebooks, the sources expect.

Intel’s Averill lineup will include the Averill Pro and the Averill Fundamental. The Averill Pro platform includes the dual-core Conroe processor and the Q965 chipset (codenamed Broadwater), whereas the Pentium D processor and Q963 chipset will be featured in the Averill Fundamental series, the sources hinted. Both Averill-series platforms will support Microsoft’s Vista operating system, the sources added.

According to IDC, global notebook shipments will grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 19.8% from 2002 to 2009, when shipments will total 108.79 million units. Notebooks are expected to contribute 37% to total PC shipments worldwide by 2009, up from 27% in 2004, the market-research firm noted.
