Intel Centrino Mobile technology includes the following components:

Integrated Wireless LAN Capability
Eliminate the hassle of cables, cards, and antennas with the integrated wireless LAN capability of Intel Centrino mobile technology. With the Wi-Fi CERTIFIED*^ components of Intel® Centrino™ mobile technology(1), you can access information and communicate on-the-spot through wireless Internet and network connections, many of them available in public Wi-Fi networks (called "hotspots") located around the world.(2)
What's more, Intel Centrino mobile technology is built to support a wide range of industry WLAN security standards and leading 3rd party security solutions (such as Cisco* Compatible Extensions) so you know your data is secured by the most up-to-date wireless security standards available.

Outstanding Mobile Performance
For today's multi-tasking, on-the-go computing lifestyle, you want outstanding mobile performance when you're away from your home or office. With mobile applications becoming more complex, and demanding faster, more efficient computing performance, Intel Centrino mobile technology is designed to meet the demands of new and future applications with technology that offers faster instruction execution at lower powers.

Some key features contributing to the outstanding mobile performance of Intel Centrino mobile technology include:
- Micro-ops fusion which combines operations to reduce time and power required to execute instructions.
- Power optimized Level 2 Cache and Enhanced Data Pre-fetcher which reduce off-chip memory access and increases availability of valid data in L2 cache.
- Advanced instruction prediction which analyzes past behavior and predicts which operations are likely to be requested in the future eliminating CPU process replication.
- Dedicated stack manager improves processing efficiency by performing general “housekeeping” functions.

Enables Great Battery Life
Intel Centrino mobile technology delivers outstanding mobile performance while enabling great battery life with power saving technologies such as:
- Intelligent power distribution to focus system power where the processor needs it most.
- New power-efficient transistor technology which optimizes power consumption and dissipation for lower CPU power.
- Support for Enhanced Intel SpeedStep® technology to dynamically enhance application performance and power usage.

A Variety of Notebook Designs
Intel Centrino mobile technology enables the latest in mobile PC designs, from thin and light, to full size. To fit high-performance processors into the latest slim and ultra-slim notebooks, PC tablets, and other cutting-edge PC designs, Intel Centrino mobile technology uses Micro FCPGA (Flip Chip Pin Grid Array) and FCBGA (Flip Chip Ball Grid Array) technologies for packaging processor chips specifically optimized for thinner, lighter notebook PC designs.
The smaller designs of new notebook computers require special considerations be made at lower powers to suppress thermal power. In response to this, Centrino mobile technology features Low Volt (LV) and Ultra Low Volt (ULV) options that allow the processor to run at lower voltages, to decrease thermal power for tablet and extra-slim notebook designs.
