The key components and technologies on which Intel's India Development Centre worked included the Intel Turbo Memory software validation, crestline chipset, customer enablement, customer reference board and battery life analysis, Intel India Director (Mobility Group) Sandeep Shah said at a press meet here.
The Centre has been playing an increasingly active role in the Intel Centrino Mobile platform since 2003 when Mobility Group India was formed here.
"From enabling and supporting global teams to driving major developments of the platform, the centre has started contributing in a very significant way to the global market," Shah added.
Formerly named Santa Rosa, the newly-launched platform is the fourth generation Intel Centrino Processor Technology.
The key parts include the CPU (with Intel Core 2 Duo Processor), graphics memory controller Hub (GMCH) code-named crestline, I/O controller Hub-ICH8, 802.11n wireless technology, Intel Turbo memory and Intel active Management Technology for security and manageability.
"The entire Intel Turbo Memory validation was performed by the India Team," he said.
With turbo memory, consumers have upto 20 per cent faster boot time and 2X faster application load. The team also created some of the software utilities and tools that help in enabling certain features of the processor
