Gaming Core 2 Duo Mobile on the way

Jimmy 2004 · Apr 16, 2007

Intel should begin to ship a new clock-unlocked Core 2 Duo mobile processor in the second half of this year, aimed mostly at gamers who like to play on the move. This new CPU is likely to become the Extreme version of the Core 2 Duo mobile, with Intel Mobility Chief Mooly Eden subtly commenting about "taking mobile gaming to the Extreme", going on to say it will be an "ass-kicking" product. He also hinted at a four core laptop CPU sometime in the future, but didn't give any indication of when.

Intel is also set to launch its 'auto-overclocking' CPUs next month - using Dynamic Acceleration Technology, the new processors will be able to automatically run faster than the specified frequency whilst monitoring the chip's heat emission in order to prevent it overheating. It can also overclock just one core whilst keeping the other in a low power state to reduce power consumption whilst maintaining gaming performance (most games will only use one core anyway).

wow that sounds good

when is it out

that's great and all but what about the fact that portables have almost no potential for better cooling (as of now), I suppose manufacturers will have to adapt their products for more extreme gamer portability. The same can be said about bringing quad core chips to laptops unless users just have to settle with the fact that there is no using their laptop without being plugged in lol

Assuming you're talking about the auto overclocking feature, I would guess that manufacturers could release a BIOS update to support it. Whether they will do or not I don't know, but IMO it isn't too much of an amazing feature - means that stupid people have faster PCs!
