Intel is set to introduce Quad-Core processors for laptops namely the Core 2 Quad Q9100 and Core 2 Extreme QX9300. The Q9100 will run at 2.26 GHz, while the Extreme Edition (QX9300) will run at 2.53 GHz. Both CPU’s will have FSB1066 but only the QX9300 will have an unlocked multiplier.
The prices of the two CPU’s are really not cheap with the 9100 having a price tag of $851 and QX9300 being priced at $1036. Wow… I wonder who gonna buy notebooks with these processors at such a price…
Vendors are likely to charge even more for upgrading from Dual Core to Quad Core. (Source: Tom’s Hardware)
Now on to the intel processor that was codenamed ‘Nehalem’. It will now officially be called Core i7. It is predicted to be released later in this year itself.
