Re: Headlines - Quad-core Intel laptop now available...down under
These are the first actual mobile quad cores, allegedly socket P.
Lots of people have been making laptops based on desktop chipsets that can use Core 2 desktop processors, including quad cores, for a long time, but this is brand new.
The thing I find interesting about this one and the Q9100 that is supposed to follow it is that their TDP rating is only 35-45 watts. That's a heck of an improvement if it directly compares to their desktop counterparts. You can put together your own quad core laptop with one of those Asus DIY notebooks for a lot cheaper, but it only supports the Q6000 series, and I always figured that would eat your battery alive, but it seems they got over that.
