Intel has reportedly axed the most powerful of three chipsets scheduled for its third-generation Centrino platform, 'Napa', due to ship early next year.

The dropped chipset, the 955XM, was to have provided notebook users with the ability to access up to 4GB of DDR 2 SDRAM, a DigiTimes report notes, citing motherboard-maker sources.

The remaining Napa chipsets, the 945PM and 945GM, will now be upgraded to support 4GB of memory, up from the 2GB maximum they were originally intended to provide.
