Intel announces 2.8 GHz notebook processor

[Rocketman]

Now where did you find that? Merom has a TDP of 35w.

The link I provided says in part:

CPU Model Clock Speed FSB L2 Cache TDP Cores
Intel Core 2 Duo E6850 3.0GHz 1333MHz 4MB 65W 2
Intel Core 2 Extreme X6800 2.93GHz 1066MHz 4MB 65W 2
Intel Core 2 Duo E6750 2.66GHz 1333MHz 4MB 65W 2
Intel Core 2 Duo E6700 2.60GHz 1066MHz 4MB 65W 2
Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 2.40GHz 1066MHz 4MB 65W 2
Intel Core 2 Duo E6550 2.33GHz 1333MHz 2MB 65W 2
Intel Core 2 Duo E6540 2.33GHz 1333MHz 2MB 65W 2

So if that is wrong, so am I. If you are saying a MBP17 uses a 35W chip, that only reemphasizes that the current quad-cores are wayyy too hot and that the new Penryns may have some sort of frequency cripple (underclock) tradeoff for more cores. I invite any actual data or links and look forward to being proven wrong and corrected

And yet those are the "E6xxx" Series and not the "T7xxx" Series that the MacBook Pro uses.

Now where did you find that? Merom has a TDP of 35w.

The figures Rocketman are referring to are for the desktop Core2's and Core2 Extreme's, which have much higher TDPs then the Mobile products.

The trick will be what the TDP of a four-core Memrom will be, assuming there is a four-core Memrom model. I expect the TDP of such a thing would be more then 35w.

I understand the data that Rocketman is using. The problem is that its for the desktop processors. The current MacBook Pros are known to handle Yonah and Merom processors.

You're going to need the quad core version to fit somewhere near the 35w TDP of those processors unless there's a major redesign.

No problem.

It's possible that later stepping processors could lead to a quad that would conform to those specifications.

Xpress 1150 > GMA950

Oh! I thought this was an iMac thread.

Ok, the 1150 beats the GMA950 by about 40 3dmark06. Whoppeee! This is one of the things I really dislike about comparisons, you could choose just about any aspect and come up With something. Dell sells a $1800 laptop with a 1.8GHz CPU and a $1300 laptop with no wireless n! Pointless comparisons...

I take my hat off to all the rest of you (seemingly), who have figured all of these new chip models out. After 25 years in the industry, I can truthfully admit, Intel has me totally confused. It looks like I am going to have to start reading from the Yonah forward.
