  No Mobile Intel Chip for Longhorn?
Time: 10:28 EST/15:28 GMT | News Source: ActiveWin.com | Posted By: Chris Hedlund

At Intel's Wireless and Mobility Press Day yesterday, Mooly Eden--vice president and general manager of the company's mobile platforms group--waxed enthusiastic in describing the company's next-gen notebook technology, code-named Napa. (What else would you call the successor to today's Sonoma notebook platform?) Napa's centerpiece: Intel's coming Yonah mobile processor--the company's first dual-core CPU for notebooks. Judging from Eden's lively presentation, Yonah will be a much more integrated dual-core processor than today's Pentium D desktops, which essentially are two single-core chips fused together. You can get the details in this story by Tom Krazit of IDG News Service, but here's what struck me as a bit odd: Unlike the dual-core desktop chips we're seeing now, Yonah will be a 32-bit CPU. Why was I surprised? Intel is saying Napa notebooks will only appear in the first quarter of next year--in other words, only a scant six-to-nine months before the scheduled release of Longhorn, Microsoft's next version of Windows.
