Intel to add another IGP chipset for Centrino 2

In addition to the previously reported Centrino 2 (Montevina) IGP chipsets GM45, GS45 and GL40, Intel will add a performance/mainstream level model, the GM47 to the list, according to sources at notebook makers.

The GM47 features a built-in GMA X4500HD graphics engine like the GM45, but with a higher core frequency of 640MHz. The engine will support DirectX 10 and Shader Model 4.0, and feature built-in HDMI, DVI and Display Port support.

Intel will also launch the non-IGP PM45.

All the chipsets will pair with Intel's ICH9M southbridge.

Intel plans to expand its Turbo Memory technology in Centrino 2 so that it will not only function as a cache for Windows Vista's ReadyBoost and ReadyDrive technologies, but also a SSD (solid state drive) for storage, added the sources.
