The Intel representatives already gave us to understand that on the fellowing days this company will not insist on the required use of the built-in flash- storage into notebook Centrino from generations santa rosa, which will leave in first half of 2007. However, in two or three years the technology Of robson will receive general propagation.
Associates explained, that first laptop which use technology robson will have 1 Gb of flash- storage, which will performs the role of buffer to store the most frequently utilized data. This will make possible to switch off hard disk often , decreasing the electric power and increasing the perormance. Also will be reduced the loadings time of applications and transit time of that waiting modes into the working order.
As for cheaper alternative will be proposed to laptop with 512 mb of flash- storage. The technology Of robson implies the integration of NAND- storage to the motherboard. Meanwhile the use of hybrid hard disks with the capacious solid-state buffer can solve similar problems. Windows vista will already require the presence of one from these technologies in notebook to obtain the logotype Windows vista premium.
By the way, the application of such technologies in desktop computers by the intel company still unkown - the south bridges from family ICH9, which are prepared for the announcement in the second quarter of 2007 do not support the technology class robson and Snowgrass. However, those which desire can use hybrid hard disks in desktop systems .
