The Intel India Development Centre has been playing an increasingly active role in the Intel® Centrino® Mobile platform development  since  2003  when  MG-I  (Mobility  Group-India) was formed in India.   From   providing  post-launch  platform  sustaining  support  when Centrino®  technology was first launched in 2003 to playing a critical role in  the newly launched next  generation Intel® Centrino® Mobile platform (formerly  codenamed  '  Santa  Rosa'),  the  journey has been replete with several interesting milestones for the site.

Speaking  on the same, Sandeep Shah, Director  Mobility Group, Intel India said,   "From  enabling  and  supporting  global  teams  to  driving  major developments  of  the  platform,  the  Intel  India  Development Centre has started contributing in a very significant way to the global markets."

The next - generation Intel® Centrino® Processor Technology

Formerly  codenamed Santa Rosa, the newly  launched platform is the fourth generation Intel® Centrino® Processor Technology after previous generations codenamed Carmel (2003), Sonoma (early 2005) and Napa (January 2006).

The key components and technologies include the CPU (with Intel® Core?2 Duo Processor); Graphics Memory Controller Hub (GMCH) code-named Crestline, I/O Controller Hub - ICH8, 802.11n wireless technology, Intel® Turbo memory and Intel® Active Management Technology (iAMT) for security and manageability.
