SAN JOSE, Calif.-Intel Corp. said it has unveiled enhancements for its solutions for wireless notebooks, cell phones, personal digital assistants and other handhelds.
The chipsets include Dothan, which is the code name for the next Intel Pentium M processor; Sonoma, a code name for the Intel Centrino mobile technology; and Bulverde, a code name for the Intel XScale technology-based processors for cell phones and PDAs.
The company announced the new Intel 855ME chipset for Centrino and said it saves power and delivers enhanced graphics and memory performance for notebooks.
