The latest Intel Centrino 2 processor will offer users higher 3D performance and HD media capabilities. Intel further claims that an average two-hour HD movie can be viewed with a single charge of laptop batteries. Also it will allow users to play a variety of online games, download music or post videos faster than before.

Also the Centrino 2 Processor offers Switchable graphics, a new optional power-saving feature available on Intel Centrino 2-based notebooks that provides both integrated and discrete graphics on a single notebook, enabling users to easily switch between the two options.

“When we first introduced Intel Centrino back in 2003, there were very few Wi-Fi hotspots, YouTube videos and social media didn’t really exist, ‘thin and light’ only referred to weight goals and desktop PCs outsold notebooks by a very wide margin,” said R Ravichandran, Director – Sales, Intel South Asia. “Today, notebooks are fast gaining share and we are seeing new and previously unheard off usage model. We are paving the way to HD entertainment, rich online gaming, faster broadband wireless speeds and an easier and more secure way for businesses to manage, update and repair their notebook fleets.”
