VR-Zone have a nice roadmap scoop on the upcoming consumer platforms next year. It is interesting to see that i975's longevity is shining on even at this time frame. It will support the next improvement to Conroe Core which is Kentsfield.The other details also show that as a platform, Wireless on the Desktop will become part of the package. The wireless flavor should be compatible to currently available standards such as 802.11b/a/g while Gigabit Ethernet would be the common wired LAN interconnect module.
On the Premium and Mainstream line, there are four plaforms, all beefy packed with features. The Napa and Santa Rosa platforms will be covering the mobile portion of the market (i.e. Centrino), while the Bridge Creek and Salt Creek platforms will be focusing on the desktop segment.
It is interesting to note that the current 900 series of processors will be positioned as an "Entry" level legacy systems and the once all mighty Intel® Pentium® 4 series will be relegated as an Entry on the Value segment.
