Where's Alviso?

DMOS writes "Intel's 'Dothan' processor for moblile computers has finally seen the light of day, but where is the rest of the 'Sonoma' platform? Specifically, the 'Alviso' chipset that is replacing the current i855 and ICH4m. So far it appears to be MIA, and Devhardware looks into why with their 'Where's Alviso?' article."

      You must be thinking of someplace else. Bakersfield doesn't have a chipset named after it yet.

    RTFA. Pay your respects. Many Dothans died for this information.

    Sorry; I think that's based on a bad parse. More likely will be Dotchewy, Dotluke, Dotleia, Dotbobba, Dotdarth, Dotstormtrooper#3, ...

    it seems that most of the technologies the new laptop chipset will enable are grossly overrated, wildly overpriced, and won't generally be worthwhile for laptop owners not running Longhorn

    Naturally, Sony will be all over this one.
