Intel says it will ship quad-core chips designed specifically for laptops later this year.
The quad-core chips, most likely for desktop replacement laptops, will be based on the Core 2 Duo microarchitecture and will ship in the third quarter, Intel officials said.
Intel declined comment on chip details, though enthusiast Web sites reported the chip is Intel's Core 2 Extreme QX9300. The chips will be manufactured using the new 45-nanometer process.
After Montevina Launch
The chip will be released after Intel's Centrino 2 platform, code-named Montevina, is launched in the second quarter. Montevina is an upgrade to the current Centrino mobile platform that puts WiMax and Wi-Fi networking capabilities on a single chip. Montevina will include processors based on the Core 2 microarchitecture and the quad-core notebook processor could be included in the platform.
The initial quad-core laptops will be desktop replacements, weighty laptops that will appeal to gamers and office workers requiring processing power, said Nathan Brookwood, principal analyst with Insight 64. The chips won't reach smaller notebooks like the MacBook Air anytime soon, Brookwood said.
A quad-core laptop with a separate graphics card could be a powerful desktop alternative, and it will be portable, he said.
Notebooks are still being driven by battery life, and the number of people who need huge performance is still small, he said. The quad-core CPU (central processing unit) is going to require more power than a dual-core CPU even if the CPU clock is slowed down, he said.
Intel officials in the past have said that users expecting quad-core mobile processors may have to wait until issues surrounding power consumption are resolved.
The initial quad-core processors will strain battery life and may first make their way to the high-end gaming and workstation notebooks that require heavy processing power, said Mooly Eden, vice president and general manager, Intel Mobile Platforms Group, earlier this year.

What the above said....lol... I was browsing the Internet the other day looking for the answer of
which processor is the best for gaming, the compared processors are Intel Pentium IV HT E and AMD
Athlon 64 (if I am not mistaken...) Most people say that Intel is better than AMD but also more
expensive. While others say then AMD can be over-clocked and is less hotter than Intel. So know, I
want your opinion. Which is the best processor for gaming? Intel or AMD? Thank you for the help....

Thank you!...
http://www.techspot.com/news/23633-ocz-int...ry-modules.html People will go out and pay 600
dollars for some Liquid Cooled RAM chips because they run "fast", as that is what Liquid Cooling is
supposed to represent to computer enthusiasts. But Corsair not to long ago released their latest and
greatest member of their Dominator Series RAM chips that run at PC2 10000 speeds and don't
require Liquid Cooling for 600 dollars as well. The only reason I could think OCZ would want to put
a liquid cooling system on their modules is because they think the chips can be overcl...
Intel has cut the prices of its core2 duo processors again despite its profits falling as a result
of this price war. The 2.8 Ghz E6700 has been made cheaper by 40% and E6600 by 30%. But with
AMD's Barcelona chip around the corner, we can expect more price cuts. So PC buyers everywhere a
wait is advised....
The eagle-eyed folks over at MacRumors spotted an advertisement on Apple's UK store that showed
an eight-core Mac Pro desktop. Presumably the Macintosh would use two Intel Quad-core chips. Apple
has since removed the ad from the store website. Rumors that Apple would incorporate two of
Intel's Quad-core chips into a Mac Pro to produce an 8-core Mac Pro have been gongoing since
late last year. Now that is a powerhouse... I bet it friggin' flys! Good show Peevles, I

I have been looking at notebook computers, and have noticed that appears to be the latest in power
boosting, the dual core. Now I was wondering a few things about a dual core. Firstly, If the
description says 1.67 gHz dual core, is that the equivalent of having two 1.67 ghz processors, or
two 800ish mHz processors? Secondly, If I had the choice of getting a note book with a 2.2 gHz
processor, or a 2 gHz dual core processor, all other specs are the same, which would be the better
deal? And lastly, for now, I understand that WinXP Pro is required when you have two process...
I'm interested in getting a laptop. But I don't know much about them. Is a laptop as fast
as a normal computer or is it a bit slower? I want to use the laptop for gaming, and for a fast
internet connection. I have cable internet so do I just connect the cable to the laptop for
internet access? And can anyone recommend any good laptops online? thanks again...
Another question... I have been trying to choose between an AMD (left one) processor or an Intel
(right one). I have been customizing both of them to find the lowest price. If I choose an Intel,
I will have the 256MB NVIDIA® GeForce® Go 7600 Video Card. If I choose an AMD, I will have the
128MB ATI RADEON® XPRESS 200M w/Hypermemory™ Video Card. What will the difference be if I
choose the AMD over the Intel? Is this a good idea or not? I have never had an AMD computer so I am
not sure. Basically, will it effect me if I choose the AMD, I'm not doing any ...
Memory is your computer system’s primary workspace. It works in tandem with the CPU, to store data,
programs and processed information that can then be made immediately and directly accessible to the
CPU or to other system devices. Computer memory also determines the size and number of programs that
can be run simultaneously, and help to optimize the capabilities of increasing powerful
microprocessors. The memory is organized into bytes, each byte capable of storing one character of
information. Each byte of memory has an address or location number which uniquely identi...

Hey guys im thinking of buying a laptop and I would like to know what you guys felt on these two
differnt brands specifially in laptops. It seems that in most amds you have ATIs and in most intels
you have Nvidia is this just coincedence? Also some one the other day was telling me that ATI is so
much better a 128 meg ati is the same as a 256 nvidia true? Any help on this would be great.

I got a Dell D600 Centrino and I want to sell it. I would like to get a new laptop but now I see AMD
has a kick *arse* Turion CPU and I would like to know how does it compare with the Intel Centrino. I
like my current Centrino because it runs cooler compared to the P4 and does the job done. How does
the AMD compare with the Intel Centrino for the low power heat? Also for games, would the Intel
Centrino or AMD be my choice. kservice...
Recently I have looking for a laptop to me, but I noticed that most of them were imported--so
utterly expensive, at least here in Brazil. Then I saw in the Internet that was possible to assemble
a laptop of several pieces, as is common with desktop computers--the so-called "barebones". However,
if is really possible, by some strange reason I don't see much of these "no-specific-brand"
laptops being sold (and in the case of desktop computers, there are lots of them). I keep wondering
if there's something that causes problems or malfunctioning in the assembling of...
QUOTE DECEMBER 30, 2005 (IDG NEWS SERVICE) - After 15 years of service as a tool to teach
consumers what brand of chip to ask for inside a personal computer, Intel Corp. has decided it's
out with the old "Intel Inside" campaign in favor of a new logo and tag line that includes the
phrase "Leap ahead." The logo and tag line will be formally announced on Tuesday. As part of
the major rebranding effort, the 37-year-old Intel logo -- its name in lowercase letters and a

Hello, my brother is goint to buy a laptop, he needs a IBM, because he use software that only runs
in Windows 98, and the only brand that give support for older OS is IBM. Also he needs a laptop
with serial port, So he has 2 alternatives, the IBM T40/41/42 (Centrino Based) but these ones
doesn't have serial port, And the IBM T30 (P-4-M 2.0ghz), any knows if this one is a good laptop
for work? (Including battery life) Thank's in advance.......
QUOTE SAN FRANCISCO (Business 2.0 Magazine) - Much to Wall Street's dismay, Intel is
continuing to invest billions of dollars in Itanium, a chip that most of the industry has written
off. Itanium, Xeon, Woodcrest and Opteron Itanium introduced after ten years in 2001, with no
64-bit software to run and its crappy performance for 32-bit software is already cost a lot to
Intel. AMD took the advantage and with its Opteron chip in 2003 which ran both 32-bit and 64-bit
software. Intel’s effort to adapt a 32-bit chip to run 64-bit software also (Xeon) is no good...

Some time ago news came out, that Apple is breaking a contract with IBM company, which has till now
produced all the processors for all of the apple personal computers. Now roomers became reality and
Intel is becomin a new official processor supplier for Apple. Till the summer 2006 processors in
computers for less-demanding users (eMac, Mac Mini, ...) will be replaced and somewhere in the
middle of 2007 Intel chips are goin to be in the Power versions of Macintoshs also. It is
interesting, if Apple will change to x86 and follow the rest of PC manufacturers (Dell, HP, IB...

According to inquirer, AMD published a comercial in a few american newspapers (Wall Street Journal,
USA Today, San Francisco Chronicle and others) in which AMD processor stands in a fighting ring and
waits for his Intel opponent. That was a move, with which they are tryin' to stimulate Intel to
accept a battle in which both new two-core processors would be tested by an impartial company. AMD
claims that this would be the only way for users to know which processor to choose.. Well Paul
Ottelini, CEO of Intel have easily turned down the challenge. If you want to know...
