Carmel also allowed laptop manufacturers to create thinner and lighter laptops because its components did not dissipate much heat, and thus did not require large cooling systems. Carmel could attain or exceed the performance of older Pentium 4-M platforms, while allowing for laptops to operate for 4 to 5 hours on a 48 W-h battery.
Later, Intel allowed the 855GME and 855PM chips, which did support external graphics, in Centrino laptops.ĭespite criticisms, the Carmel platform won quick acceptance among OEMs and consumers. Initially, Intel permitted only the 855GM chipset, which did not support external graphics. At the same time, they permitted the new Dothan Pentium M to substitute for the Banias Pentium M.
In early 2004, after the finalization of the 802.11g standard, Intel permitted an Intel PRO/Wireless 2200 BG to substitute for the 2100. Intel responded that the IEEE had not finalized the 802.11g standard at the time of Carmel's announcement. Industry-watchers initially criticized the Carmel platform for its lack of support for IEEE 802.11g, because many independent Wi-Fi chip-makers like Broadcom and Atheros had already started shipping 802.11g products.
