Intel launches low-cost quad-core mobile chip
Intel has launched a low-cost quad-core mobile processor and added more mobile Core 2 Duo processors to its chip lineup, according to an updated price list dated December 28.
Acer was one of the first PC makers to announce a system with the new quad-core processor. On Monday Acer released the Aspire 8930G-7665 laptop designed for extreme gaming using the new Intel Core 2 Quad Mobile Processor Q9000, which runs at 2.53GHz. The laptop comes with a 18.4-inch WUXGA screen and Nvidia GeForce 9700M GT graphics. It is priced at $1,799.
The Q9000 processor is listed at $348, significantly less expensive than the existing QX9300 mobile quad-core processor, which is listed at $1,038, and the Q9100, listed at $851. Both of these processors, however, have 12MB of cache memory, twice the amount of the cheaper Q9000, which integrates 6MB of cache. Generally, the more cache memory, the faster the processor.
Intel also released other mobile processors: the 2.93GHz T9800 ($530), the 2.66GHz P9600 Core 2 Duo ($348), the 2.66GHz T9550 ($316), and the 2.53GHz P8700 ($241).
T series processors typically have a power envelope (TDP, or thermal design power) of 35 watts, while P series chips have a 25W TDP. Intel launches low-cost quad-core mobile chip | Business Tech - CNET News | My System Specs |

Acer laptops are so poorly made though. My uncle has a 21" screen on his laptop and that thing should have been YELLOW it is such a lemon.
Next summer will bring mobile core i7 processors and laptops will get a whole new kick in the tail. | | My System Specs | | |
