Intel Desktop PC Platform Seeks More Corporate Business

As the company’s Centrino technology has become almost a standard on laptop computers, Intel wants to duplicate that success on business desktops.

Announced today prior to its CEO changeover where Craig Barrett will step down in favor of Paul Otellini, Intel will begin work on its Professional Business Platform.

The platform will include one of Intel’s Pentium 4 chips, but will add simpler system management features, enhanced security, and lower power requirements, according to an Intel spokesperson.
