message: Centrino have new logo. Why?--Bojan PLOJ (talk) 20:26, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

message: In the advertising section, the article claims that MacBooks use the Centrino chipset and platform.  As far as I know, this isn't entirely correct.  In order to be "Centrino", Apple would have to use Intel's WiFi cards, which they do not.  The MacBooks use the chipset and processor from the Centrino "line" but are not Centrino.  Is this correct?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.67.64.10 (talk) 14:48, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

message: Anyone else think the Santa Rosa section reads like an Intel product flyer?
:To me it seems an ad or an editorial or review. It strays far from encyclopedic style and does not cite reliable sources. It should either be rewritten in an appropriate style with sources cited, or it should be removed. -- Schapel 17:09, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I have edited this section simply to change the style however I have not changed the content or added any sources.  Hopefully it is an improvement, I'm new to this so comments are appreciated. MikeLiles 01:47, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

text: I've added a little more insight but I think it needs formatting into paragraphs rather than being a list. this whole article is all a little untidy although I don't think it quite desrves the spam tag. if I have a quiet moment at the weekend I might tackle it AlasdairBailey 22:00, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

text: I don't see what is possibly wrong with the list. It makes it very clear for people to see the upcoming features of the product. Making this into a paragraph would just complicate the process of finding the relevant features of the upcoming platform. F00kie 01:09, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

message: Anyone knows the market share for this processor/platform? The information seems to be missing from the article... -- Heptor  talk 16:36, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't know exactly what the market share of the platform (Centrino is not a processor) is, but I would imagine that it is a very significant portion of the notebook market.  Intel really doesn't have much competition from AMD in the notebook market (which is unfortunate).  -- Imperator3733 (talk) 00:00, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

message: Some of the things in the Calpella section do not seem quite right.  
#Where does anything say that Nehalem will be called Core 3?  I have not seen anything saying this.  
#No sources are listed for anything in this section.  
The IP that added most of this section also added references to Core 3 to both Nehalem (microarchitecture) and submitted an AfC request for Core 3.  Does anyone have any evidence that the name will be Core 3?  If not, that should be removed.  -- Imperator3733 (talk) 00:38, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: The "party line" from Intel back when the Core naming convention started out was that the name would increment with each new microarchitecture.  Nehalem will be the next new microarchitecture, and if they stay with the system they previously said they would use, it will be called Core 3.  I have not seen anything recently, in official comments or in the press, to confirm they still intend to use that naming system. — Aluvus t/c 01:24, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Should we remove all the "Core 3" references for now, until something is actually announced? -- Imperator3733 (talk) 20:37, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I removed all the "Core 3" references from that section.  If/when Intel announces that they will be "Core 3" chips, someone can add it back in.  That section also needs a lot of references. -- Imperator3733 (talk) 14:23, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

message: I noticed that it states you need an Intel GMA 965 in order to qualify as a Centrino, however I have an Nvidia 8400M GS and my laptop is clearly labeled as a Centrino Duo. I do have the T5450 processor, and the ABG wireless that are listed though.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.148.83.192 (talk) 19:08, 9 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: The graphics don't matter.  The GMA series is Intel's IGP line and is included as part of the 'G' chipset lines.  Centrino requires an Intel chipset, of which there are both 'G' (IGP) and 'P' (no IGP) versions.  Both are fully Centrino compliant.  Most likely you have a 'P' chipset. -- Imperator3733 (talk) 00:11, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

message: Isn t this a bit ambiguous (Quote)To qualify for a Centrino label, laptop vendors must use all three Intel qualified parts under each platform, otherwise using only the processor and chipset will carry the Pentium M, Pentium Dual-Core, Celeron, Intel Core or Intel Core 2 label instead.(quote) What 3 parts are being refereed to?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.226.211.159 (talk) 05:59, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: From my understanding, the three components to qualify for the full "Centrino" label are: an Intel motherboard, Intel wireless chipset, and an Intel processor. Usually notebooks have both an Intel motherboard and processor but not an Intel wireless card (e.g. an Atheros, Broadcom, etc wireless card), thus it doesn't qualify for the Centrino label. So, instead they have a Intel Core 2 Duo logo placed on the unit instead of a Intel Centrino logo. SimsHsia (Talk : Contrib) 18:29, 14 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: The requirement is a processor, wireless chipset, and motherboard chipset from Intel's "approved" list.  The motherboard itself does not have to be (and seldom if ever is) made by Intel.  — Aluvus t/c 19:25, 14 June 2008 (UTC)

message: Appears someone at AMD Austin Texas (or someone hacking their proxy) has inserted inflamatory and non NPOV material in the Marketing section starting two years ago. The material about the Japan FTC is not supported by the actual case, as the JFTC talks about issues starting in 2002, a full year before Centrino even launched. In addition, the comment about designs going to 60 within a quarter, were not due to any reaction to the JFTC findings on Intel's part. This is clearly a Post Hoc fallacy. If you look at what was really happening in the market, the 60 design wins were directly due to AMD finally releasing a K8 version (K8L, marketed as Turion) that finally had the low power attributes for the K8 architecture to compete for the laptop business. Finally, there are several assertions made that need to be backed up by references.

message: I am thinking should Calpella be separated from this article, because AMD Roadmap recently just released. I am totally confused which segement is Calpella aiming at?
Possiblity
* Laptop, netbook, notebook?
* HTPC (catching up to AMD DTX or competiting against AMD future HTPC platform)
OR aiming at the desktop which parody against netbook (marketing / conditioning campaign).
By that I mean
* Nettop? and SFF mini-server (aka minicluster)
I ask, because they recently demo a HPC using Atom, so its possible they might use Calpella demo also. On top of that there is the UrbanMax concept, which confuses me more, is that competiting against previous AMD DTX form-factor or AMD future HTPC ? OR is it another conditioning or parody to offer Nettop?
Are they abandoning netbooks or expanding it bigger?
？？？＠＠？？？ (?WePC is??)

I totally don't understand Dragon platform at all, because there is already FX platform named Spider, Leo, Leo Refresh.
Calpella seems to have no competitor since it is targeting netbook / nettop. AMD has announced they will not be targeting netbooks, they will be targeting more Linux-like notebook / Open Source laptops know as AMD Consensus. I said that, because the article mention Lenovo ThinkPad, which has a very large ThinkWiki site. Does AMD believe in community-orientated open source versus netbook campaign?

By the way is Calpella supporting WiMAX or XOHM also.
