Singapore: Intel delays Centrino 2 launch over chipset issues.Byline: mohammed05 Intel will delay the launch of its upcoming Centrino 2 platform for laptop computers by nearly two months to resolve issues related to the chipset A group of chips designed to work as a unit to perform a function. For example, a modem chipset contains all the primary circuits for transmitting and receiving. A PC chipset provides the electronic interfaces between all subsystems (see PC chipset for illustration). and the antenna used with the wireless chipset. Centrino 2, also called Montevina, is the next version of Intel's popular Centrino platform for laptops and was previously slated for a June launch. Computer makers are now expected to begin shipping laptops based on new mobile processors to retail shops in July, with the launch of Centrino 2 scheduled for the first week of August.

On the wireless side, Centrino 2's will offer support for Wi-Fi, and WiMax is being offered as an option. The new processors will now ship on July 14, but the wireless and graphics chipsets that complete the Centrino 2 package won't be ready until early August. Nevertheless, the Centrino 2 delay is an embarassing setback setback In architecture, a steplike recession in the profile of a high-rise building.
