Though Dell has been supporting AMD recently, Intel seems unphased; their business with Apple is booming, and they are now releasing a brand new chip specifically designed for next-generation PC’s and laptops called the Centrino Pro. Designed with Inte’s vPro technology, the Centrino Pro aims to deliver heightened wireless security to forthcoming WiFi-based systems.

Previously code-named Santa Rosa, the Intel Centrino vPro was designed to allow I.T. administrators greater control of desktops and laptops on a specific network; this would mean more centralized control, control while computers were inactive, and safter PC/network security.

The chip platform is based on Intel’s recent Core 2 Duo chipset, which features 64 bit processing. Secondly, the platform will feature the integration of 802.11n technology; the new face of wireless connectivity.

The system, among other uses, will be featuring increased support for Microsoft Vista’s new graphical interface; as an option, buyers can spring for Intel’s Turbo memory, which promises to load frequently-used programs and utilities 2 times faster than normal memory.

In plain speak, Intel is catching its outdated Centrino processor up to speed, with wireless N technology, as well as 64 bit Core 2 Duo processing. As the Centrino appears almost exclusively in notebooks, expect to see the newest laptops equipped with this latest bit of technology.
