Early 2008 Silverthorne release: new MIDs and UMPCs around the corner?

IntellogoIt’s no secret that I’ve shied away from the 2007 UMPC offerings. For my needs, I’m content with technology from 2006. That could all change after New Year’s Day, however. InfoWorld seems to think that Intel’s low powered 45-nanometer Silverthorne chipset will be introduced in early 2008. Intel has had working versions of the chipset since April, so my hunch is that InfoWorld is on target. Silverthorne is expected to offer a dual-core processor with low energy requirements which could boost mobile devices in both the horsepower and the battery life department. I usually don’t play a waiting game with my mobile tech needs, but this processor is one reason I’m playing it for now.
