Intel Announces “Penryn” Laptop Processor Details

Intel really are the ‘daddy’ of the chip world and when they announce something like this, expect it to be big. “Penryn” is the successor to the Merom core, used in all the Core 2 Duo chips that has revolutionised our notebook world.

“Penryn” will apparently be based on 45nm fabrication process entirely, a real change to the previous Merom core. These “Penryn” based Core 2 Duo processors will shed a new light on the spanking “Santa Rosa” platforms expected in Q1 2008.

What do you think of Intel and their recent progression in the chip world? Are you an Intel fan? Or do you stand by your AMD based machine?
