Intel informed its customers that in the first quarter of 2006 its next-generation architecture for small-profile PCs will feature similar CPUs as its next-generation notebook-use processors, the dual-core Yonah, according to sources at motherboard makers. Intel intends to push its “Mobile in Desktop Platform” concept for small-profile PCs including small form factor (SFF) systems, which lack space for heat-dissipation, the sources indicated.

In line with Intel’s strategy for the digital home (East Fork), the company aims to divide its desktop PC platform into six market segments (standard sized Tower, Mini Tower, All in One, Entertainment PC, Ultra Sleek and Mini PC), with the Mini PC featuring the smallest dimensions. The six models will be based on the Intel dual-core Anchor Creek and Yonah platforms.
