To address this generation gap between the notebooks and that of the latest desktop platforms, Intel today officially launched a new Centrino platform that was codenamed 'Sonoma'. This spanking platform is a complete overhaul of the existing Centrino model and is centered on the new mobile 915 chipset (which is a mobile variant of the 'Grantsdale' 915P Express desktop chipset). The new platform will come with a few major enhancements, which includes PCI Express interconnect technology, DDR2 memory, Intel High Definition Audio (also codenamed Azalia) and SATA.
