Centrino Mobile Technology is a combination of 3 Intel components found in the same notebook. These components are:

1. Intel Pentium M based Processor
2. Intel 855 Chipset Family or the Mobile Intel 915 Express chipset.
3. Intel Pro/Wireless Connection

In order for a notebook to be labelled as having "Centrino Mobile Technology", all three components must be available in the notebook. It is a common misconception that "Centrino" is a processor, but it is the combination of the three components listed above.

Centrino Duo Mobile Technology
This is simply an extension of the existing Centrino platform. A Centrino Duo system includes the Intel Core Duo or Core 2 Duo Mobile Processor, the newer 945 Express chipset, and the tri-mode Intel Pro/Wireless 3945ABG adapter.
