next gen centrino to get fast network

Intel’s next generation platform scheduled for Q1 2011 is going offer a few novelties on the WiMAX side. The Huron River platform is supposed to replace Calpella and it will pack Sandy Bridge 32nm monolithic CPU and graphics, all on one unified core.
When it comes to the network part they will continue pushing Intel's Centrino Advanced N + WiMAX 6250 adapter, codenamed Kilmer Peak. Intel has started using Kilmer Peak 2x2 AGN adapters in its top of the Calpella high end notebook list.


Intel also plans to introduce a few new Centrino adapters with WiFI + Blutooth support but this is aimed for some other market segments.

We are not sure how successful WiMAX might be in 2011, but we can only hope it will do well.source
