Nehalem looks cool
"Nehalem has the most significant new architectural changes as of today since the Pentium Pro back in 1995. Nehalem is very scalable with different components for different tasks. According to Intel it will have 1 through 8+ cores, integrated memory controllers for DDR3 with 1 to 4 memory channels and be manufactured using the same 45nm manufacturing process as its predecessor, Penryn."

Whichever mobile processor makes a significant step towards 10 or 12 hour battery time with regular services and use. The current models have plenty of processor as a desktop replacement for most professionals. I'm looking forward to being wirelessly plugged in for a full day.

Is this processor on its way? Will it get here before Lenovo stops using the IBM logo? :)

Processor is on its way, it'll be here towards the end of 2008.
