New Low-Voltage "Dothan" Chips - X series Update?

[alins]

See "Intel Intros Low-Voltage "Dothan" Chips " -- http://www.extremetech.com/article2/0,1 ... X1K0000532.

"Intel Corp. moved its "Dothan" Centrino mobile microprocessor chip down into the ultra-low-voltage space over the weekend, scattering additional price cuts among its mobile microprocessor lineup.

Intel introduced the LV/ULV Intel Centrino 1.40-GHz model 738, 1.10-GHz model 733, and 1-GHz model 723 alongside the platform's corresponding Pentium M counterparts. The Centrino bundles include, in addition to the processor, an Intel 855GM or 855PM chipset and either the Intel Pro/Wireless 2100 or 2200BG wireless card. Prices for the new Centrino bundles will range from $299 to $356 in lots of 1,000 units, the company said."

When will we see these in new X series thinkpads?

Just a FYI - the new LV/ULV dothans are fabbed at 130 nm process. Sounds weird to me.

Update: The new LV/ULV dothans are 90 nm afterall. However, the new "number" based nomenclature doesn't apparently guarantee 90 nm process: http://www.intel.com/products/processor_number/info.htm

So they're calling it 130nm now, eh? I guess it's so that 90nm doesn't seem so much better than .13m.

New TABOOK today, yet no Dothans for X Series
