Intel gets set to bring the ‘platform’ concept to desktops
By
Forget about just chips, says Intel, it’s all about chipsets, or more accurately, “platformisation.” Building on their Centrino platform for mobiles, Intel is bringing the reality of “platformisation” to desktops and servers, where it’s all about an integrated package of processor, chipset, graphics, sound, and more.
So later this week we’ll see the desktop division attempt to deliver a Centrino-style ‘platform’ for the desktop PC, while the mobilies will swagger around, sniffing “We told you so!”
So far the branding of the product is the decidedly unsexy “Professional Business Platform”, but we understand it will comprise chipset and processor with integrated graphics and sound, plus various other bits and bobs Intel makes so well.
