Intel's official announcement of the platform is due to hit the wire shortly. We'll update you with more details and a full performance profile, as we begin to get Montevina based notebooks in house for evaluation. In the meantime, as you can see, Intel has completely revamped their entire platform, soup to nuts as they say, with new processors up and down the lineup, a new chipset, and wireless connectivity technology as well. Stay tuned for more on Montevina and how it stacks up to AMD's Puma platform in the months ahead.
