Intel plans to unleash quad-core Penryn-based processors on its upcoming Montevina mobile platform. The new mobile quad-core CPUs will use Socket P and will be similar to its desktop equivalent. Expect 12MB of L2 cache on mobile quad-core Penryn's with a front-side bus speed of 1066MHz. Intel plans to keep thermals around 45-Watts, with idle power consumption around 3-4-Watts. Mobile quad-core Penryn's will also support all HALT states, including C4. Intel targets the mobile quad-core Penryn for 2H'08 with the arrival of Montevina.

This is why they have a strangle hold on the mobile platform. Look at that, the low watts, low TDP and all that. ITs fabtastic.

These are for laptops so that wouldn't matter.

They sound sweet though.
