Intel preps for launch of its first quad-core CPU for notebooks later this year.
I'm sure many laptop users around the world would've been anxiously waiting to see Intel release some form of mobile CPU in the quad-core version for laptop use. Finally, it looks like our prayers have all been answered. Intel will release their first ever quad-core CPU for laptops later this year, the third quarter to be precise. 

Dubbed the Core 2 Extreme QX9300, it will surely not come cheap. Well, not anytime soon surely because the launch price is reported to be just over $1,000 per unit.

Obviously, the QX9300 will find its way into the high-end and performance laptops. But, Intel is not very optimistic about quad-core going mainstream for laptops until late 2009. Sorry for breaking this news to you. The release of quad-core processors for laptops is a step in the right direction and let's just celebrate that for now.

Some of the other technical details on the Core 2 Extreme QX9300 for laptops:

  • 45nm technology
  • 2.53GHz Clock Speed
  • Socket-P interface
  • 1066MHz FSB
  • L2 Cache: 12MB
  • Power: Maximum TDP of 45W
