East Fork with Pentium D9 processors

East Fork is the name of Intel’s platform for the digital home and we earlier knew that the platform will use the low power Pentium M-series, Yonah. Now it seems it will also use next generayion of dual-core processor from Intel, Pentium D9 which in a East Fork configuration will be paired with the i945 chipset (ICH7-DH southbridge) and both Ethernet and WiFi circuits. The platform will be introduced by Intel the first quarter of 2006 and at the same time the Pentium D9 based on 65nm-technology will be launched. As expected East Fork will be launched with an interface that supports Microsoft Windows Media Center Edition.
