Intel Releases Quad Core i7 Laptop Chips

[DoFoT9]

Intel today has released their latest 45nm Core i7 Mobile Processors - which have been labelled the "fastest laptop chips ever".

There have been three chips released, two 'general' Core i7 Mobile Processors, and one 'Extreme' Core i7 Mobile processors.



Apple is not expected to upgrade and put any of these chips in their current MBPs, they might apparently wait for the 32nm models.

it will be interesting to see the benchmarks for these things. intel is claiming an 81% increase over current chips.

I hope apple will use these in iMac or something.. maybe a 17" macbook pro

what's deference between 45nm or 32nm? only the size?

Thanks

mmnnn maybe but i donno. there is talk of Xeons in the imacs!! wth.

apple will no doubt wait until the 32nm chips are out. i hope.

size difference yea, means you can get more capacitors on the chip which means more grunt whilst using less power and less heat. (Y)
