While the usual g33k is looking forward for the Nehalem-enriched Calpella, Intel is preparing to introduce a little update to its mobile platform before it. Planned for Q2 2009 and now expected to debut in April the Montevina (Centrino 2) refresh will see to the release of a couple of new 45nm Core 2 Duo processors, the T9900 and T8800, and will make use of the upcoming GM47 chipset, as well as the current GM45 and PM45.
The GM47 will be released in Q1 2009 and while most of its features are already found on the GM45, it will include an updated IGP dubbed 4700MHD. The GM47's graphics core is clocked at 640 MHz, as opposed to the 533 MHz of the GM45's IGP. The Montevina refresh may not be spectacular but it should keep laptop makers busy until Calpella will be ready for release.
