of things. And our NAND Flash disk caching technology. On top

of that, we are going to enable Intel management technology,

and this is going to be the richest platform that we have ever

introduced in mobile technology.

This is going to demonstrate to you the goodness of Santa

Rosa, very much the main things that we are doing in a

microprocessor to make it better than the predecessors. This is

the chart of everything that exists on Santa Rosa with all the

capabilities. The first enhancement going from Centrino Duo to

Santa Rosa is increasing the bus speed from 667 megahertz to

800 megahertz. This is going to significantly increase the

bandwidth within the CPU and the chip set. This, on top of the

fact that we have a leading edge chip set microarchitecture,

allows us to increase throughput to memory, reduce latency and

results in much higher CPU performance.

The second feature is enhancing the dynamic scaling of foreign

performance into the bus. In previous generation, we had the

CPU going from high-frequency mode which delivered the

utmost performance at the highest power, and used a scaling

through what we called the P point -- and we have 60 P points --

all the way down to low-frequency mode, each time picking a

different point of frequency and voltage, which means that at

each point you get just the performance you need and not

anything beyond that. And, of course, if the CPU needs to be

active, but does not require to do a lot of computing, the low-
