Dell Bets on Intel Penryn for its High-End Laptops

Dell will begin offering Intel's Penryn processor as an option on several notebooks within a week or so, according to sources close to the computer giant. Although the 45-nanometer generation of Penryn processors targeted at laptops was announced back in early January, the chips haven't exactly leaped into laptop lineups. So far, Hewlett-Packard is the biggest taker of one Penryn chip: the Core 2 Duo T9300 (2.5GHz, 6MB L2 cache). Dell has not specified yet which models will get the processors, but the company's high-performance notebooks, such as the XPS, are likely candidates. Intel's 45-nanometer mobile processors integrate 6MB of cache versus 4MB for the older 65-nanometer Merom generation, and the lower-end chips integrate 3MB versus 2MB for the Merom-class processors.

high english laptops
 
Sorry, fixed.
 
wow, these might finally be laptops considered "Desktop Replacements". I heard that term thrown around before but now that might actually be true!
 
of course, dell will overprice the laptop with this processor in it.
 
If they could come up with a better way of cooling lappys they may well be desktop replacements in the future.
 
Well the 45nm parts should be better with tempuratures(Hopefully) And Id like to think they would put proper cooling on it. (another hopefully)
