Intel Confirms Centrino 2 Chip Delay

- Warner Crocker

Intel has confirmed that there will be a delay in getting the Centrino 2 chipset (Montevina) rolled out as scheduled. “Minor issues” supposedly turned up in final testing resulting in a delay until August.

"There were two minor issues we found during final testing – one with our integrated graphic chipsets, which we have found a workaround for but need to re-screen our parts, and second around our wireless wi-fi chip, which was a paperwork and certification mistake we made," said Bill Kircos, a spokesman for Intel, in an email.

"Both of these led us to establishing a launch date for our mobile processors and discrete chipsets of the week of July 14th, and taking a couple of weeks to get the right readiness and volume for the rest of our components," Kircos added. "We're looking at early August for that."

Look for some changes in launch schedules from OEMs.

This rather sucks. I've been planning on getting a Montevina powered tablet for entering freshman year of college, but my requirements distinctly say they have to be ordered by August 1st. This clearly won't happen so unless the vendors are cutting us some sort of pre-order....crap! Looks like I'll be selling a used laptop at the end of the year.
