The source reports that the production of mobile platform Cedar Trail-D will be held either in the late third or early fourth quarter of 2011. By this time the platform should be completed, including the need to be ready to BIOS, drivers, processors and motherboards, as well as all other necessary things that should be taken into account.

Given these data, we can assume that before the change of the platform in 2010, known as the Pine Trail-D, will be about one and a half years. Granted, the platform Pine Trail-D for an unusually long lifespan of a mobile platform, but apparently, Intel somewhere in the gap between global updates will release a faster version of Pine Trail-D with some minor additions. Processor Cedarview-D will be produced on 32nm process technology, and its frequency is higher than in Pineview-D.

According to the source, the engineering model of the dual-core 32nm processor Cedarview-D, which is scheduled for release in 2011, will appear in the fourth quarter of 2010. True, this is the most favorable scenario, and in case of unforeseen delays in engineering samples of the new mobile processor will appear only in the first quarter of 2011. In this case, qualification samples will be ready in the second quarter of 2011, the production of notebooks based on the new platform will begin only at the beginning of the third quarter of 2011, and only then will their announcement. Now it is very difficult to give a more specific time frame, as before engineering model Cedarview-D no less than a year, and during that time a lot can happen.
