Intel 64-bit Mobile Processor

[dfumento]

From a Digitimes e-mail:

Note: An April 15 article incorrectly stated that Intel would push back the launch of its Yonah CPU to the second quarter of 2006, and erroneously cited a Register article. The DigiTimes article should have said that Intel will delay its 64-bit mobile CPU. The Register article stated Intel will release its ultra-low voltage Yonahs in the second quarter of 2006.


This is the first I've heard of an Intel 64-bit mobile processor....

See my thread on Merom/Conroe: http://forum.thinkpads.com/viewtopic.php?t=10068

Yonah is a dual core Dothan with a lot of floating point improvements. Intel claims it won't launch until early next year, but The Inquirer has good information that it may ship a good deal earlier than that. Yonah is entirely 32-bit, as it is related to Dothan.

Merom is the replacement for Yonah.

Expected launch is Q3 of 2006. My best guess is that Intel will, if possible, time the release with Microsoft's Longhorn Windows in order to maximize sales.
