Centrino 2 And SSDs: A Match Made In Heaven
It isn’t just a coincidence that Intel decided to start manufacturing solid state drives (SSDs), nor was it simply a sign that the devices might soon be in high demand. Intel is planning on manufacturing that demand by featuring them as part of a bundle with their upcoming Centrino 2 platform.
“Initial shipments of Intel High Performance SSDs will come in two versions – Client X25-M and Client X18-M – the former having a physical size of 2.5-inch and later 1.8-inch. Both will feature 80GB capacity and a SATA interface.
Intel plans to increase storage capacities up to 160GB by the end of the fourth quarter, and to 250GB and above in 2009, the sources added.”
We are eager to see how many major players will go for the SSD option and how much it will cost end users.
