Consumers flunk geography per Intel, Montevina to be Centrino 2

Here’s a Monday morning brainteaser: name the next California area in the following list. Carmel, Sonoma, Napa, Santa Rosa… Did you say Montevina? Know anyone who did? Neither does Intel who finally gave up on educating the world on California travel destinations. Instead the chipmaker is branding the Montevina platform as the Centrino 2.I like the designation for more than the obvious reason of consumer awareness. While the Centrino 2 isn’t the second-generation Centrino platform (that was Sonoma for you Trivial Pursuiters), it does use Intel’s Core 2 Duo and will support WiMax, which you could say is the second coming of Intel’s wireless offerings. Plenty more good Centrino history and information awaits you at the Wikipedia; the California city after Montevina, for example. Bonus points if you know it without peeking…
