RegHardware reports that Intel is planning to launch seven mobile processors based on the Core i5 and i7 architecture in Q1 2010. The codenamed 'Arrandale' processors will feature Core i5 and i7 branding, and one (it is not clear which one) could have onboard graphics.
There will be two Ultra Low Voltage (ULV) models to start with running at 1.06GHz and a 1.20GHz, with the ability to overclock to 2.13GHz and 2.26GHz, respectively. They will have TDPs of 10 - 18W. Other specs include 4MB of L3 cache, DDR3-800 support, and Hyperthreading (which means four logical processor cores).
There will be two Low Voltage (LV) models as well, running at 2.0GHz and 2.13GHz, with the ability to overclock up to 2.80GHz and 2.93GHz respectively. They will also feature Hyperthreading technology.
The standard part will be an i7 with a 2.66GHz clockspeed (overclockable to 3.33GHz); it will be a dual- and not a quad-core chip. The TDP will range from 25 - 35W, and it will support DDR3-1066. A standard i5 chip will have the same TDP and memory support as the 2.66GHz i7 chip, but a lesser cache (3MB L3 vs 4MB L3) and stock clocks of 2.4GHz and 2.53GHz, which overclock to 2.93 and 3.06GHz respectively.
A dual-core Celeron based on the Arrandale architecture is expected to launch in Q2.
========================================
這款ULV好像蠻猛的,可超頻到2.26GHz (from 1.20GHz)
希望新的timeline能有搭載這款CPU, 在配上至少ATI 4650 HD級的graphics card(當然也要有switchable onboard graphics card)....這將會是個有效能+電力持久的筆電
當然會有熱的問題,如果這個真的成真的話,希望Acer不要在用plastic來做機身 (怕plastic會承受不住高溫而裂開之類的)+ 自動超頻button (好讓我們消費者省著時間download software自己超頻)
當然這些都是在幻想的...^^

Intel will launch its Calpella notebook platform during the period from September 29-October 23, and is planning to launch 32nm Arrandale CPUs in the first quarter of 2010, according to sources at notebook makers.
The initial launch of Calpella will include three Clarksfield quad-core Core i7 CPUs – Core i7-920XM (2GHz), Core i7-820QM (1.73GHz) and Core i7-720QM (1.6GHz) – priced at US$1,054, US$546 and US$364 in thousand-unit tray quantities, the sources noted.
In the first quarter of 2010, Intel will launch three 32nm Arrandale CPUs clocked at 2.66GHz, 2.53GHz and 2.4GHz with prices set at US$332, US$257 and US$225, respectively. The three CPUs will all feature a TDP of 35W.
In addition, Intel will also launch two Core i7 ultra-low voltage (ULV) CPUs clocked at 1.2GHz and 1.06GHz, and priced at US$305 and US$278, respectively, along with Arrandale, and will launch another two low voltage (LV) CPUs clocked at 2GHz and 2.13GHz, and priced at US$300 and US$332, respectively.
Intel will announce four wireless modules – Advanced-N + WiMAX 6250, Ultimate-N 6300, Advanced-N 6200 and Wireless-N 1000 for Calpella in the first quarter of 2010
