Intel on Monday is expected to launch its latest mobile platform, Centrino 2, which will deliver speedier performance and faster wireless connectivity to laptops.

After multiple refreshes, the new platform is Intel's first major Centrino upgrade after its predecessor was launched in 2003. The new platform will deliver better performance on laptops with faster, more power-efficient Core 2 Duo chips running between 2.26GHz and 3.06GHz.

It will also include support for 802.11n wireless networking and WiMax wireless broadband, which will allow laptop users to connect wirelessly with record speed and range, said Elvin Ong, an Intel spokesman, in a blog entry.
