Intel’s next wave forward is a dual core mobile chip:
“Starting July 16, Intel will debut its Core 2 Extreme X7800 processor for notebooks, which the company said will boost performance by about 28 percent compared to its previous generation of mobile chips.
The dual-core X7800 processor—clocked at 2.6GHz and offering 4MB of L2 cache and a 800MHz FSB (front side bus)—is Intel’s second offering in its Core 2 Extreme lineup, which also includes the X6800 for desktops…”

Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) should have a reply to Intel. It seems that Intel is trying to make market advances in the last two quarters of 2007. In those last quarters are the returning students group, final corporate spending and the holiday spending peak. HP, Asus and Dell are expected to be among the first out with new notebooks.

“Intel’s First Dual Core Mobile Chip” is wrong. The Core Duo is the first dual core mobile Intel chip and it came out last year. Sorry… the title of the article is incorrect. The ” Core 2 Extreme X7800″ is not the first dual core Intel mobile CPU. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Core_duo which reads: “he Intel Core brand was launched on January 5, 2006 by the release of the 32-bit Yonah core CPU - the Intel’s first dual-core mobile (low-power) processor.”
