DailyTech also says that the MCP79 also features a single-channel TMDS interface for HDMI 1.2, support for a 1066MHz FSB, 800MHz DDR2, 1333MHz DDR3 memory support, 3 Gbps SATA/eSATA interface, NVIDIA DriveCache (similar to Intel Turbo Memory), a Gigabit Ethernet controller, HD Audio, the TPM 1.2 security module, and up to 20 PCIe 2.0 lanes.
The MCP79 will compete with Intel’s Centrino 2 “Montevina” notebook platform, scheduled for release in June.
