Intel VIIV 1.5 and 2.0 Launched
VIIV is not a single product, but a display of products. Though it was originally to be introduced with Smithfield, Intel noticed that going from a 64-bit soldering iron with a blow dryer attached to a 32-bit quiet system, back to a mid power 64-bit system would make the marketers heads blow up.
The next two generations are sneakily named VIIV 1.5 and VIIV 2.0. Apparently, the V(IIV)1.5 parts will basically add in Merom based cores in place of the Yonahs, bringing more horsepower, more wattage, and 32 more bits to the fray. Look for this mid-year.
V(IIV)2.0 is scheduled for the end of the year, and looking at the Intel roadmaps, side by side with the current MS roadmaps, one can be quite confident that V(IIV)2.0 will feature Vista.
